Application & Processing Workflow

Here’s a high-level, simplified flow you can display as a timeline / infographic on the webpage:

  1. Enquiry & Pre-Qualification – submit basic details to get an estimated loan eligibility and monthly EMI.
  2. Document Submission – you or VFS collects & submits all required KYC, income, and vehicle documents.
  3. Credit & Vehicle Verification – lender verifies income, credit history, and inspects the vehicle if new/used.
  4. Loan Sanction & Agreement – approval letter issued with final rate, tenure, EMI, and terms.
  5. Disbursement – funds are released (often to dealer) and vehicle is handed over.
  6. Repayment & Servicing – monthly EMIs, prepayment / foreclosure rights (as per lender), balance transfer, etc.
