Yes you have heard it right. Car loans for pre used cars come with a LTV of 60 to 75% of the car price as determined by the car valuation expert of the concerned bank. For example you are seeking to avail the pre used car loan from Bank X. After you shortlist your car, you will need to inform your concerned bank. The bank will send its official car valuation expert to check the price of the car. Whatever the car valuation expert would conclude as per the car’s condition, its make, model and other parameters would be the final price considered by the bank.

Since a term plan does not have any cash value associated with it is difficult for any bank or NBFC to mortgage the life insurance policy as security and give out any sum against the policy. Life insurance plans like endowment policies, money back plans and unit linked insurance policies (ULIPs) are eligible for loans while term insurance plans are not eligible for any loans. It is always a good idea to check with your bank or life insurance service provider whether any insurance plan you have is eligible for a loan or not.

So if you earn Rs. 55,000 per month and have a other loan or financial obligations come to Rs. 10,000, you will at best get a loan where your monthly EMI does not exceed Rs. 22,500.
