SBI Car Loan Eligibility
To be eligible for an SBI New or Used Car Loan, applicants must adhere to the below-mentioned car loan eligibility criteria:
Applicant/individual must be aged between 21 years and 65 years.
The applicant must be either a Central/State Government employee, a professional or self-employed individual, or an individual who is engaged in agricultural and allied activities.
SBI offers high-value car loans to its customers with the interest rates offered for new and used SBI car loans ranging between 8.00% and 10.75%. The SBI Car Loan interest rate that you are eligible for will be dependent on various factors, some of which have been mentioned below:
Income-to-Debt Ratio – This is one of the primary factors that lenders take into consideration while determining the rate of interest. It basically is an indicator of the amount of money you owe to different entities. It is always recommended to have a low income-to-debt ratio as it denotes your capacity to make EMI payments on a monthly basis, without any delays.
Market Fluctuations - Interest rates tend to change along with the performance of the market. Inflation also plays a major part in determining the interest rates. If the inflation rate goes up, then rates might increase and if the inflation rate goes down, then car loan interest rates might decrease. Other market conditions might also affect interest rates offered by the lender from time to time. Hence, customers should be completely aware of the prevailing market conditions when they opt for a car loan.
Vehicle’s Age – When you borrow a car loan, the vehicle being financed basically acts as a collateral for the entire tenure of the loan. In case you default on the payment of the EMI, the bank can hold onto your vehicle, in order to balance out the outstanding dues. This is the reason why lenders and banks take into consideration the model and age of the vehicle while determining the rate of interest.
Applicant’s income and occupation – In addition to the credit score of the applicant, his/her income and occupation type are also taken into consideration while determining the rate of interest. Banks typically prefer applicants that have a steady source of income as it indicates their capacity to make repayments without defaults.
Repayment tenure: The repayment tenure that is the time given to the applicant to repay their loan amount will also determine the interest rate levied on their loan amount. Longer the repayment tenure, higher will be the interest rate charged on the loan amount.
Relationship with your bank: The applicant’s relationship with the bank will also determine the rate of interest levied on the bank. It is always recommended that the applicant avails a car loan from the bank where he/she holds a bank account. The bank finds it easier to provide loan to a person who has been a customer of the bank for a very long time. Hence, there is a very good chance that the applicant will get a car loan at a lower interest rate.
How to Increase Your Eligibility for SBI Car Loan
Some of the ways through which you can increase your eligibility for SBI Car Loan are given below:
Have a good credit score: It is important to maintain a good credit score in order to improve your eligibility for SBI Car Loan. It I always recommended that you maintain a credit score of 750 and above as it gives the lender the impression that you will be able to repay the loan on time.
Shorter tenure: It is always recommended that you go for a shorter tenure while availing a car loan. Shorter tenure also means that a lower interest rate will be levied on the loan amount. The chances of your loan getting approved is higher if you go for a shorter repayment tenure as it means that you will have to pay back the loan amount quicker.
Apply for a lower loan amount: It is easier for a bank to approve your loan if your loan amount is low. This means that not only will a lower rate of interest be charged on the loan amount but since the loan amount is low, the bank finds it comfortable allowing you to avail the car loan.
Maintain a low debt-to-income ratio: The bank checks debt to income ratio before allowing to avail a car loan. If there is a significant balance between your income and your expenses, then the chances of you availing a car loan at a lower interest rate increase.
Car Loan Schemes Provided by SBI
The list of car loan schemes provided by SBI is given below:

The repayment tenure ranged between 3 years and 7 years depending on the loan amount. he margin under this scheme is 100% of the fixed deposit for the on-road price of the vehicle.

Before you avail a car loan from SBI, you may want to know how much amount you will be paying towards the loan each month. This is simply known as EMIs or equated monthly instalments and it offers an easy way to repay your car loan. By calculating the EMI, you will be able to budget your monthly expenses better.
You can calculate the EMI for your car loan by using the below-given formula:
E = P*r*[(1+r) ^n/((1+r) ^n-1)]
In the above formula, E denotes the EMI, P the principal amount, r the interest rate and n the number of years or tenure of the loan.
You can also calculate the SBI Car Loan EMI by using the EMI Calculator tool wherein you just need to enter the loan amount, interest rate, repayment tenure, processing fee, etc. The tool will calculate the EMI and display it to you.
