How to Calculate Interest Rate on my Corporation Bank Car Loan

With the flexibility of paying back your car loan in the form of Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs), customers can easily own a car without having to bear the brunt of a lump sum expense. By paying nominal rates of interest for a loan tenure of your choice, you can own your dream car. If you wish to know how EMI on your car loan is calculated, the formula that is used to derive it is as follows:

EMI (E) = [P x r x (1+r) ^n]/ [(1+r) ^n-1]

Here,

P stands for the principal or the loan quantum,

R is the rate of interest applicable per month [Therefore, for an annual interest rate of 10.20%, the rate of interest will be 10.20/ (12 x 100)],

N is the number of monthly instalments made/ no. of months taken for car loan repayment.

For example: If you take a car loan for Rs. 7,00,000 at an interest rate of 10.20% for a loan tenure of 5 years, Rs. 1,88,958, would be the total interest payable and the total payment made would be Rs. 8,88,958.

In the following illustration, for a car loan amount of Rs. 10,00,000 to be repaid in 2 years at an interest rate of 10.20% from Corporation Bank(Calculations based on EMIs paid in advance), the EMI per month from Oct 2015:

EMI per year for 2 years (starting from October 2015 - September 2017):

Total interest amount to be paid for a Corporation Bank Car Loan amount of Rs. 10, 00,000 for 2 years would be Rs. 1, 00,342. Therefore, the total payment made by the end of the tenure is Rs. 11, 00,342. The rate of interest gradually decreases as the EMI is repaid and the principal loan amount repaid in the EMI increases with the tenure.

Factors Affecting Corporation Bank Car Loan Interest Rates

• Third-party Guarantee - The spouse / or may other individual can stand as guarantor to the car loan taken by an applicant. If the guarantor has a substantial income to back their status and creditworthiness, the applicant can get the auto loan easily approved as well as bargain for a lower car loan interest rate.
• Tenure of the loan - If the borrower chooses a longer tenure for repayment of his/her car loan it might make the bank levy a higher interest rate on the loan. This is because the bank considers this as a higher risk factor for defaulting on loan repayment. In order to balance this risk the bank might increase the interest rate charged on the car loan. On the other hand, if you opt for a lower loan tenure, this assures the bank of faster repayment so you can expect a lower interest rate.
• Income- Applicants who earn an income falling within the income eligibility criteria, especially with a higher income and lower debt outflow, are deemed more creditworthy by Banks. In this situation, the applicant can negotiate with the Bank for a lower rate of interest.
• Down payment - The percentage of loan margin or down payment that is paid by the borrower out of his own savings also has an ancillary influence on the borrower's car loan interest rate. This is inversely proportional since the higher the down payment the lower is your interest rate on the car loan.
• CIBIL Score - CIBIL score is one of the most popular credit rating measures undertaken by banks. This score which reflect the credit history of an individual, is generated on the basis of the Credit Information Report. If the CIBIL score of an applicant is high, he/she is considered more creditworthy. Therefore, the chances of getting the car loan approved is very high. This will also influence the bank to lower the rate of interest that is applicable on the loan quantum of your choice.
• Bank’s Existing Customers - Existing customers of Corporation Bank will have better chances of availing an advantageous car loan package for themselves. Corporation Bank offers various car loan offers for established customers of the Bank at lower rates of interest. For example, those who have term deposits in Corporation Bank have a better chance of availing a car loan faster, at favorable rates of interest.

How CIBIL scores affect Corporation Bank Car Loan Interest Rates

Every Bank and NBFC carefully scrutinizes an Individual’s CIBIL Score before sanctioning a car loan to him/her. An individual's credit score helps the bank to determine his/her car loan eligibility and creditworthiness. The credit history of a borrower is reflected in his/her CIBIL score and this is a detrimental factor that influences the interest rate levied on a car loan. The CIBIL TransUnion Score is a 3 digit number which ranges from 300 up to 900. The applicant can negotiate a lower interest rate on his/her car loan if he/she has a high CIBIL Score. This also ensures that the applicant will get a positive response from the Bank with regards to his/her car loan application. Higher scores ensure greater probability of procuring car loans at an attractive rate of interest since the banks consider them to be in the lower risk category.
