Tempowale team · 19 May 2026

Used commercial vehicle financing is harder than new — but every major Indian lender does it. Here's what works in 2026.

Who lends for used CVs

  • Bajaj Finserv — 90% LTV on vehicles up to 8 years old, fastest disbursal (24-48 hours)
  • Tata Capital — preferred for Tata vehicles, dealer-tied processing
  • HDFC Auto Finance — strict eligibility but lowest rates if you qualify (9.5-11%)
  • Mahindra Finance — rural reach, preferred for Mahindra vehicles
  • Cholamandalam — flexible for first-time drivers

Documents you'll need

  1. PAN + Aadhaar
  2. Address proof (utility bill or rent agreement)
  3. Bank statements (last 6 months)
  4. Driving licence
  5. Vehicle RC + insurance + fitness certificate
  6. Income proof (ITR for 2 years, or salary slips for 3 months)

Typical terms in 2026

  • Loan amount: ₹2 L – ₹50 L
  • Interest rate: 11% – 16%
  • Tenure: 12 – 60 months
  • LTV: 70% – 90%
  • Processing fee: 1.5% – 2.5%

Use the EMI calculator

Plug in your target vehicle's price and see monthly EMI before you commit.

Top tip

Get pre-approved before visiting the seller. Lenders issue a sanction letter that locks in your rate and amount. Sellers take you more seriously, and you don't lose deals waiting for approval.
