Factors Affecting Canara Bank Car Loan Eligibility

Some of the ways that individuals can increase their eligibility for a Canara Vehicle Loan are mentioned below:

  • Maintain a good credit score: Individuals who have a good credit score have more chances of getting their car loan approved. Having a credit score of 750 and above will provide the lender with an impression that the individual will be able to pay the loan amount on time.
  • Availing a lower loan amount: Banks and other lenders usually approve the loan in case the loan amount is low. Apart from banks being comfortable in providing the loan, the car loan interest rate, that will be levied is also low.
  • Shorter duration: Individuals who choose a shorter repayment tenure can avail the loan at lower interest rates. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals opt for shorter tenure when opting for a car loan. The chances of getting the loan approved also increases since individuals will have to pay to close the loan quicker.
  • Low debt-to-income ratio: Before approving the car loan, banks check the individual’s debt-to-income ratio. In case the individual has a significant balance between their income and expenses, the chances of getting the loan approved at lower interest rates increases.
