15 lakh car loan EMI by tenure

At 7.7% p.a. the 7-year EMI is ₹23,156 with ₹4,45,084 of interest. Five years costs ₹7,044 more a month (₹30,200 minus ₹23,156) but saves ₹1,33,103 of interest (₹4,45,084 minus ₹3,11,981).

At the 8.5% median the 7-year EMI is ₹23,755 and the interest ₹4,95,397; the 5-year EMI is ₹30,775.

IndusInd Bank's 17.96% p.a. ceiling is the top of the range it actually charged last quarter (an RBI disclosure, not an offer). There the 7-year EMI is ₹31,492 and interest reaches ₹11,45,294, ₹7,00,210 above the floor (₹11,45,294 minus ₹4,45,084).

The take-home pay this loan needs

Lenders usually cap all your EMIs at half of take-home pay. At the 8.5% median the 5-year EMI of ₹30,775 needs about ₹61,550 a month in hand (₹30,775 divided by 0.5); the 7-year EMI of ₹23,755 needs ₹47,510.

Other EMIs eat into that room: pay ₹10,000 a month elsewhere and only ₹20,775 is left (₹30,775 minus ₹10,000), short of the 5-year EMI, so you'd need a longer term or more down payment. Each bank's income floor is in our car loan eligibility guide.

What on-road price ₹15 lakh covers

Lenders fund a share of the on-road price (ex-showroom plus registration, road tax and insurance). With 10% down, ₹15 lakh is 90% of the price: a ₹16,66,667 car (₹15,00,000 divided by 0.9) with ₹1,66,667 from you. With 20% down, divide by 0.8: an ₹18,75,000 car and ₹3,75,000 down.

SBI, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank print up to 100% of on-road price; UCO Bank, Indian Bank and Bank of Baroda fund 90%. Canara Bank asks 15% from non-government borrowers between ₹10 lakh and ₹25 lakh, so ₹15 lakh buys a ₹17,64,706 car (₹15,00,000 divided by 0.85).

Which lenders start lowest for ₹15 lakh

Two PSU banks hold the 7.7% floor. UCO Bank reserves it for individuals scoring 825 or higher on CIBIL; Bank of Maharashtra gives it to salaried borrowers at 800 and above, as RLLR minus 0.60%.

IDBI Bank and Indian Bank follow at 7.75% with no condition printed. Canara Bank's 7.75% is for women and for sanctioned limits above ₹15 lakh; others pay 7.80%, and a loan of exactly ₹15 lakh sits on that line.

Watch the limits: SBI's 8.55% floor needs a 3 to 5 year term and a score of 800 or more, and ICICI Bank's 8.40% needs more than 36 months. The full table is on our interest rates page.

Choosing the right car loan for ₹15 lakh

Check your credit score first; every floor above hangs on one. Then compare car finance offers on total interest, not EMI: at 8.5%, 7 years costs ₹4,95,397 and 5 years ₹3,46,488.

Three usual mistakes: picking the longest tenure because the EMI looks small, skipping the fee line (UCO Bank's STP route charges 0.50% up to ₹5,000 plus GST; PQVL is free until 31 December 2026), and taking a fixed rate without reading its foreclosure clause.

Prepayment is free on floating-rate personal car loans sanctioned from 1 January 2026 under the RBI's 2025 directions on pre-payment charges; fixed-rate loans may still charge. Next: the ₹12 lakh and ₹20 lakh EMI pages, the EMI calculator, or the car loan hub.

What is the EMI on a 15 lakh car loan for 3 years?

How much interest do I pay on a 15 lakh car loan?
Rate and tenure set it. At the 7.7% floor, interest runs from ₹1,84,700 over 3 years to ₹4,45,084 over 7 years, so the longer term costs ₹2,60,384 more (₹4,45,084 minus ₹1,84,700). At the 8.5% median, 5 years costs ₹3,46,488 and 7 years ₹4,95,397.
What salary is required for a 15 lakh car loan?
With all EMIs held within half of take-home pay, a 5-year loan at the 8.5% median (EMI ₹30,775) needs about ₹61,550 a month in hand, and a 7-year loan (EMI ₹23,755) about ₹47,510. Existing EMIs cut that room; banks also set income minimums.
How much down payment is needed for a 15 lakh car loan?
Most PSU banks fund up to 90% of the on-road price, so ₹15 lakh covers a ₹16,66,667 car and you pay ₹1,66,667 (₹16,66,667 minus ₹15,00,000). SBI, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank print up to 100% funding, which can mean no down payment.
Which bank is best for a 15 lakh car loan?
Your credit score decides; every published floor carries a condition. UCO Bank starts at 7.7% p.a. for CIBIL 825 and above, Bank of Maharashtra at 7.7% for salaried borrowers scoring 800 or more, and IDBI Bank, Indian Bank and Canara Bank at 7.75%, Canara's for women or prime-rated borrowers.
Can I prepay a 15 lakh car loan early?
Yes. On a floating rate it costs nothing: the RBI's 2025 directions on pre-payment charges bar foreclosure and part-payment fees on floating-rate personal loans to individuals sanctioned from 1 January 2026. Fixed-rate loans are outside the ban; Axis Bank, a fixed-rate lender, charges 5% of principal outstanding.
