Documents you will usually need

Most loan providers ask for a similar set. IDFC FIRST Bank may ask for more depending on your profile.

  • Identity proof such as Aadhaar, PAN, passport or voter ID
  • Address proof such as Aadhaar, utility bill, rent agreement or passport
  • PAN card (mandatory)
  • Last 3 to 6 months of salary slips and bank statements for salaried applicants

Before you sign with IDFC FIRST Bank

  • Get the Key Fact Statement (KFS). RBI requires loan providers to give you a KFS before you sign, showing the interest rate, all fees, the annual percentage rate (APR) and the total amount you will repay.
  • Compare the APR, not the headline rate. A low rate with a high processing fee can cost more than a slightly higher rate with no fee.
  • Ask about pre-closure charges. Fixed-rate vehicle loans often carry charges for paying early; floating-rate loans to individuals cannot.
  • Check what is bundled. Insurance, extended warranty or accessories added to the loan raise the amount you pay interest on. You are free to buy insurance elsewhere.
  • Make sure the hypothecation is recorded and later removed. The loan provider's name is noted on the registration certificate; after the last EMI, collect the NOC and get it removed at the RTO.

Apply on idfcfirst.bank.in or at a branch. Never pay anyone an upfront fee to "get a loan approved"; genuine loan providers deduct fees only from the loan itself.
