Under the RBI Pre-payment Charges Directions 2025 (effective 1 January 2026), banks and NBFCs cannot levy foreclosure or pre-payment penalties on floating-rate loans taken by individuals for non-business purposes.

Yes. Both banks and NBFCs finance peer-to-peer (C2C) used car purchases from individual sellers as well as dealer purchases. On Nxcar, our team handles the physical car valuation, existing loan NOC check, hypothecation endorsement, and RC transfer so the seller receives direct bank disbursal safely.

No. Comparing lenders or using our eligibility calculator on Nxcar does not trigger multiple hard bureau inquiries. After assessing your CIBIL band, income proof, and car age, our lending desk submits your file only to the specific lender whose underwriting grid matches your profile.

The car's Registration Certificate (RC) is transferred into your name with an endorsement (hypothecation) in favour of the financing bank or NBFC under Section 51 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Once you pay your final EMI, the lender issues a Form 35 and No Objection Certificate (NOC) so you can remove the hypothecation at the RTO.
