The first product named Insta Auto Loan is designed to aid up to two million pre-approved customers to receive final sanction of a car loan instantly. Customers can avail a loan amount of up to Rs. 20 lakh spanning a tenure of seven years. This product aims to cover two million pre-approved customers to receive final sanction of vehicle loan instantly.

The second product offered on the same lines is named Insta Two-Wheeler Loan that aims at offering 12 million pre-approved customers the instant digitised facility. In this segment, customers can avail up to a loan amount of Rs 2 lakh for period of three years. Both the products provide 100 per cent of the on-road price of the vehicle.
