The collaboration aims to make car ownership more affordable and accessible during peak festivals such as Navratri, Dussehra, and Diwali, when automobile sales traditionally see a sharp uptick.
Enabling Hassle-Free Digital Car Loans
The Maruti Suzuki Smart Finance platform is India’s first and leading OEM-backed digital financing solution, offering customers a completely online loan journey—from application and documentation to approval and disbursal.
With Punjab & Sind Bank’s integration, prospective buyers will now have access to:
- Attractive interest rates
