What are the factors impacting the eligibility of a car loan?

The eligibility for a car loan is influenced by a couple of factors. Some of the main factors have been highlighted below:

Credit score –  Your credit score is of great importance to the bank while processing a loan request. A credit score shows the health condition of your financial situation. Hence, it extends confidence to the bank on the repayment capacity and quicker turn around on the car loan application. If your credit score is low, it is advisable to take steps and turn it around to minimize the chances of loan rejection.

Age – Most banks maintain the minimum age eligibility to apply for a loan at 21 years. The loan repayment needs to be completed by 65 years. The banks tend to favour younger working applicants for a car loan as their earning capacity is longer than the older applicants.

Income level – A car loan application is quite dependent on the earning capacity of the applicant. A proof of your income is required to be submitted to the bank. In case, you are not able to satisfy the eligibility criteria of minimum income, one can add earning spouse to the application as a co-obligator and increase your eligibility for the car loan.

Debt –  Your current debt impacts the decision to offer a loan. The debt-income ratio in your financial condition is closely considered by the bank before approving the loan. There are doubts on the repayment capabilities if you are already burdened with debts and therefore, the bank may hesitate to add another one.

How to improve your eligibility for car loan?

If some factors of car loan eligibility are not in your favour, there are ways to improve your financial condition to get a car loan.

Repay existing debts –  The existing debts must be paid off before a loan application is submitted. This increases your chance to get a quicker approval. The bank takes your current liabilities into account while processing the loan application.

Bring in Co-applicants –  There is an option to add a co-applicant to the car loan application process. This can be an earning spouse, parents or siblings. When you add a co-applicant, you increase your eligibility for getting a car loan.

Increase your credit score – Improving your credit score is one of the most important steps in ensuring a successful loan application. Existing debts must be paid off to avoid chances of loan rejection. Credit card payments and history of debt payments must be done in an orderly fashion to instil confidence in the bank for a new loan.
