For the average individual in India, a motorcycle is an asset. A motorcycle is cheap to own and easy to ride. Furthermore, parking issues with a motorcycle are negligible.
However, whether one is buying a Bajaj 100cc bike or a Dominar 400, prices of motorcycles recently have skyrocketed.
This led to the situation where loans for motorcycles became the only solution for motorcycle buyers. In this context, it is best to remember to avoid the mistakes mentioned below with one’s bike loan.
Delay paying the EMIs
It is a mistake to delay paying the EMIs for one’s two-wheeler loan. Delayed EMI payments would not only rack up penalties but also hamper one’s credit history. If continued, delays can also lead to the instance where the lender repossesses the bike!
Not making a downpayment and applying for a large loan
It is a mistake to apply for a loan without making a downpayment. At the same time, it is also a mistake to borrow a large sum from a lender. In both cases, a borrower would have to bear steep interest rates and extremely steep EMIs.
Not borrowing from authorized lenders
It is a mistake to borrow money from unauthorised lenders. One must ensure that the lender they are borrowing from has the necessary credentials like permission from the RBI.
Not paying attention to the fine print of the loan document
It is a mistake to avoid reading the terms and conditions of the final loan document. In case one is having issues understanding any clause then the doubt should be clarified on-site. Otherwise, one might end up paying unnecessary charges.
