electronics. There are few companies that are offering finance facility as
consumer durable loan to the customers by easy approval with 0% interest by

in small instalments which are called as equated monthly instalments are used
to pay both interest and principal each month over several years, the loan is
paid off in full.
A consumer durable loan is a finance option for the purchase of household
appliances, electronic goods, automobiles, furniture, jewellery, and sporting
goods.
Lenders check your annual income and credit history of the individual and lend
the loan. Since consumer durable loans are unsecured loans, lenders
particularly look at your repayment history and CIBIL Score (Credit Information
Bureau India Limited). It is advisable to check your CIBIL Score on a regular basis
and make sure there are no errors and the overall report looks positive to the
lender.
Documents that are required to seek a consumer durable loan vary from lender
to lender. Generally, the list of documents includes: Identity proofs such as
PAN Card, Voter’s ID, Aadhar Card etc and Address proof such as Passport,
Driver’s License, Electricity Bill.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

According to Jyothi rani who has done a research on Study regarding factors
affecting online shopping decisions in Rohtak city explained the following
This study reveals that the males are less doing the online shopping than
females. The female is more into online shopping because they enjoy doing
shopping compared to males. The young generation is more into purchasing
from online sites because of the revolution in the technology among the youth
population and they can use this technology for their well-being more than
other age group category. Flipkart is the shopping site which is more preferred
by the young generation. (Jyothi rani ,2018)
According to Shrirang Altekar and Anil Keskar who had done research on A
Study of the Factors Impacting the Buying Decision Process Specified Consumer
Durables in NOIDA article, we can see that Family plays a crucial role in the
final decision-making stage 94% in case of Home Appliances and 96% in case of
electronic Goods. Again, the spouse is the most influential factor 52% for Home
Appliances and 50% for Electronic Goods. Parents are the next influential factor
for Home Appliances as 26% and Children as 16% for Home Appliances.
However, in Electronic Goods children are however more influential than
parents.
( Altekar, P. and Keskar, A. (2014). A Study of the Role of Income in
Determining Shopping Formats and the Factors Impacting Brand Choice
at the Pre-Store and In-Store Stages of the Buying Decision Process for
Specified Consumer Durables in Noida. SSRN Electronic Journal.)
According to FREDERIC S. MISHKIN who had studied on the topic Consumer
Sentiment
and Spending on durable Goods explains that consumer sentiment affects the
purchase of durable goods. According to this view, the index of consumer
sentiment reflects consumer perceptions of financial distress, which influence
the decision to purchase durables because of their liquid nature.
a good balance sheet position at the beginning of the period, which
encourages confidence, will make the consumer more likely to purchase
18
durables and start a debt. In addition, the purchase of durables is often related
by continuing improvements in the consumer's financial position, and thus the
consumer would feel happier after a purchase. (FREDERIC S. MISHKIN,1978)
According to Anitha goyal who had studied on the topic Managing perceived
risk for credit card purchase through supplementary services this study has
revealed that presence of supplementary services can manage consumer
perceptions towards functional risk and psychological risk. An interesting
finding is that males perceive more psychological benefit and females perceive
more functional benefits with supplementary services for credit cards. Age
above 55-year age group can be satisfied for psychological benefits of
supplementary services with credit card purchase. This can result in increased
usage of credit cards by this age group. (Anitha goyal,2018)
According to Sushma patil who has done research on the topic IMPACT OF
PLASTIC MONEY ON BANKING TRENDS IN INDIA around 50% of payments of
the customers are done through credit/Debit cards. The customers have rated
that the telephonic payment option is average due to long timeliness and
security concern for CCV/PIN number. The introduction of ATM machines has
changed the banking process also. Customers are preferring the ATM
machines. The uses of plastic cards have also been increased because banking
industries have also provided the 24x7 customer service for their customers.
No hassles of carrying cash, Security of money, irritation free EMI’s, Easy to
use, Personal Loan on Credit Ca rd. (Sushma patil,2014)
According to a study conducted by Komal Dhanda and Usha Arora who has
conducted research on topic Genesis of cashless society: A study on growing
acceptability of plastic money said that Young Indians feel dignified in holding
plastic currency and that they think about it as the good approach of paying.
There’s still, a good potential left for the bankers to introduce a lot of services
to tempt the shoppers on one side and improve their gain on the opposite.
Therefore, the long-term usage of plastic cards in India is bright enough to
bring large growth in its quality among customers also as bankers.
(komal dhanda, usha arora,2017)

According to a study conducted by Prof. Dr. Akhter Anwarand Prof. Sachin
Hatol who had conducted a research on topic A STUDY ON VARIOUS METHODS
OF PAYMENT IN ONLINE TRANSACTION Awareness of e-transaction is good.
Etransactions are the simplest method of transactions. But customers have a
fear of risk of personal data. Banks are providing enough security. The internet
speed and process are one of another challenge on e-transaction. Any new
methods suddenly changed results in unacceptance of people.
(Akhter Anwarand, Sachin Hatol,2017)
According to a study conducted by S. Jayakumar who conducted research on
Consumer Durables rural India Calling which explains us that
Indian incomes are likely to grow over the next two decades and India will
become the world’s fifth largest consumer market by 2025 and becoming the
12th largest consumer market. With the easy availability of loans, the increase
of double-income families, decrease in prices because of increased competition
and government support, availability of disposable incomes, improvements in
technology, reduction in customs duty, and growth in consumer size of the
rural sector, the consumer durables industry is growing at a faster.
(S. Jayakumar,2010)
According to a study conducted by Sushma Patil who a research on the topic
IMPACT OF PLASTIC MONEY ON BANKING TRENDS IN INDIA has done says that
arrival of malls, multiplexes, online shopping stores, and shopping complexes is
encouraging the customers to make use of plastic cards. The modern day,
Indian customers are finding it easier to make payment by credit card or debit
card instead of carrying too much cash. It benefits the consumer through
product offerings at a lower cost and that too with delighting rewards, bonus
points. But some customers are not able to utilize cards due to its complex
nature and they don’t know how to operate it. The cost has also remained an
issue in case of credit cards. The interest charged on the outstanding amount is
very high which sometimes takes the customers in debts by discouraging the
customers to make use of it (Shushma patil,2014)

According to a research conducted by Michael Wood on the topic
Socioeconomic status shown that impulse buying Unplanned buying is
commonplace in the modern retail and marketing environment. Indeed, the
most recent study of ``in-store'' decision making carried out by the Point-of-
Purchase Advertising Institute, with a sample size of more than 4,200
consumers, indicated that 60% of supermarket purchases and 53% of mass
merchandise
store purchases were unplanned (Wood, M. (1998). Socio-economic status, delay of
gratification, and impulse buying. Journal of Economic Psychology, 19(3), pp.295-320).
According to a study by-WEN CHIEN AND SHARON A. DEVANEY who has
conducted a research on the topic The Effects of Credit Attitude and
Socioeconomic Factors on Credit Card and Instalment Debt explains to us that a
favourable attitude toward using credit can lead to a positive attitude of using
credit, a higher likelihood of using credit may also encourage a positive attitude
toward using credit. The results of the present study indicate that a favourable
general attitude toward using credit has a positive effect on predicting the
number of instalments loans, and favourable specific attitude toward using
credit has a positive effect on predicting the amount of the credit card balance.
The cognitive dissonance theory might be used to explain the conflict that
consumers might experience when they charge a product or service and
receive immediate happiness, although they know that the longer they delay
paying the credit card balance, the more the goods or service will cost. Marital
status and professional status are positively related to instalments debt. But,
Education was positively related to credit card debt.
( CHIEN, Y. and DEVANEY, S. (2001). The Effects of Credit Attitude and
Socioeconomic Factors on Credit Card and Instalment Debt. Journal of
Consumer Affairs, 35(1), pp.162-179.)
According to the study conducted on the topic Indian Banking Development –
Challenges & Prospects
by the Karlapudi Ramesh Babu explains us the competition among the banks in
India is strong, with the situation where it is dominated by government banks.
21
Market entry for the new banks at the country level is very tough for new
players due to the highly moderately consolidated nature of the industry and
extremely high competition. (Karlapudi RameshBabu,2018)
According to a research conducted by Rais Ahmad Itoo, A. Salvarsan who
conducted a study on the topic named Loan products and Credit Scoring
Methods by Commercial Banks has given us the conclusion that Most banks
have retail as of around 20% of their total lending and these are growing at a
rapidly at a rate of 30 to 35% yearly, Retail lending has become the source of
profit in the banking sector. The retail banking sector in the banking industry is
continuously undergoing innovations, product re-engineering, adjustments.
Indian retail banking includes Cards such as credit cards, debit cards and ATM,
housing loans, Personal loans, Consumption loans, Education loans, Vehicle
loans, Insurance, Demat services, Online services consumer durable loans.
(Rais Ahmad Itoo,2017)
According to the study conducted by L. Jay Atkinson on the topic, the demand
for consumers' durable good explains to us that the demand functions derived
in this study are based upon the influence of three or four basic factors as
measured. Such factors as advertising, salesmanship, and credit terms, as well
as changes in the product and in competing products, are not mainly included
in the calculations though they are at times important influences upon sales.
(L. Jay Atkinson,1950)
According to the study conducted by Dr. D. Ashok on the topic named
Consumers’ Purchasing Pattern in Liberalized Market – A Study on the
Household Durable Products explains us that More choices for their selection
due to many brands both in Foreign & Indian companies. High level of
technological improvement has been seen. promotional plans introduced by
marketers to win the confidence of consumer's by offering more economical
and psychological benefits to select the product of their purchase, Challenging
pricing strategies of marketers due to cost reduction techniques, introducing
more flexible choices in 'mode of purchase' by offering both easy and flexible
process of repayment, Attempting for Research & Development practices to

also have the effect of environmental factors such as economic, cultural, social,
22
psychological, demographic, situational and technological changes. Personal
factors include economic position, knowledge of consumer, lifestyle,
involvement. (D. Ashok,2007)
According to the study by M. Zulqarnain Siddiqui on the topic Issues and
Security of Plastic Currency explains us that fraud is a continuous problem for
the payments industry. As new payment technologies are introduced, and new
fraud prevention and detection techniques are introduced, criminals look for
the new weakest point in the system to exploit the innocent. The industry has
many Issues regarding Security of Plastic Currency has implemented a variety

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Introduction
India has a diversified financial sector undergoing rapid expansion, both in
terms of strong growth of existing financial services firms and new entities
entering the market. The sector comprises commercial banks, insurance
companies, non-banking financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds,
mutual funds and other smaller financial entities. The banking regulator has
allowed new entities such as payments banks to be created recently thereby
adding to the types of entities operating in the sector. However, the financial
sector in India is predominantly a banking sector with commercial banks
accounting for more than 64 per cent of the total assets held by the financial
system.
The Government of India has introduced several reforms to liberalise, regulate

Companies in the financial services industry are in the business of
managing money. Globally, the financial services industry leads the world
in terms of earnings and equity market capitalization. Large
conglomerates dominate this sector, but it also includes a diverse range
of smaller companies.
Commercial banking services are the foundation of the financial services group.
The operations of commercial include the safekeeping of deposits, issuance of
credit and debit cards, and the lending of money.
An investment bank typically only works with deal makers and high-net-worth
clients, not the public. These banks underwrite deals, secure access to capital
markets, offer wealth management and tax advice, advise companies on
mergers and acquisitions, and facilitate the buying and selling of stocks and
bonds and discount brokerages also occupy this niche.
27
Hedge funds, mutual funds and investment partnerships invest money in the
financial markets and collect management fees in the process. These
organizations require custody services for trading and servicing their portfolios,
as well as legal, compliance and marketing advice. There are also software
vendors that cater to the investment fund community by developing software
applications for portfolio management, client reporting and other back office
services.
Private equity funds, venture capital providers and angel investors supply
investment capital to companies in exchange for ownership stakes or profit
participation. Venture capital was especially important to tech firms in the
1990s. Much of what goes on behind the scenes in the making of big deals is
attributed to this group.
Insurance is another important subsector of the financial services industry. In
the United States, an insurance agent differs from a broker. The former is a
representative of the insurance carrier, while the latter represents the insured
and shops around for insurance policies. It that who assesses the risk of
insuring clients and advises investment bankers on loan risk. Finally, reinsurers
are in the business of selling insurance to the insurers themselves to help
protect them from catastrophic losses.
The vast financial services sector also includes accountants and tax filing
services, currency exchange and wire transfer services, and credit card machine
services and networks. It also includes debt resolution services and global
payment providers such as Visa and Mastercard, as well as exchanges that
facilitate stock, derivatives and commodity trades.

them visits once in 6 months and 18 % of them responded that 18% visits the
store once in 4 months.32% of them are just short-term customers who visits

visits once in a year.

There are many schemes for the total payment of loan. Most of the customers
are preferring to pay in six months so that they can take another loan on EMI
basis because paying 2 or 3 EMI’s monthly can irritate the customers and
paying EMI’s for a very long term is also very frustrating that the customers
wait for very long time to clear the whole loan.40% of the respondents had
chosen 6 months as the best payment tenure scheme. The next preferred
scheme is 8 months and 12 months.

FINDINGS
SUGGESTIONS
CONCLUSION
57
FINDINGS
• Major decision makers in the customers are males in case of purchase of
consumer durable products.
• Most of the customers visiting Bajaj electronics are married people.
Because mostly married people involve in purchase of home appliances
and consumer durables.
• More than half customers visiting Bajaj electronics are from middle
income group.
• Only 40% of the customers are having EMI cards.
• 21% of the respondents are having consumer durable loan from Bajaj
finserv.
• 18% of the respondents are having loan from capital first.
• 52% of the respondents are not having any EMI loan.
• Tata capital has 4% of respondents who took a consumer durable loan.
• HDFC has 4% of respondents who took a consumer durable loan.
• 46% of the respondents had said that zero interest will be the
motivational factor for taking an EMI loan.
• For 23% of the respondents easy to manage money will be the
motivational factor.
• 50% of the sample like cash purchase and the remaining 50% of sample
like EMI purchase.
• 39% of the sample are satisfied with the EMI documentation.
• 33% of the sample are satisfied with the EMI card.
• 72% of the sample are in favour to suggest EMI purchase to others.
• 32% of the people shop on cash basis once in 6 months where as 33% of
people shop on EMI basis once in 6 months.
• When we take buying behaviour for 2 months, cash purchases are more
(18%) when compared to EMI purchases (3%).
• Most of the customers would like to clear the loan in a time of six
months.
• Customers won’t like very long period of payments.
58
SUGGESTIONS
• Issuing more EMI cards can encourage customers for EMI purchases.
• If the existing EMI card users are not using EMI card regularly then the
card will be blocked by the company. This is stopping the customer from
purchasing. If this card blocks are stopped, then there is a scope for
increasing the EMI sales.
• The documentation process is time consuming for the new customers for
getting a loan. Decreasing of this process time can bring a positive
attitude among the customers regarding the consumer durable loan.
• Most of customers are not getting loans because of less CIBIL score.
there are some cases where loans are not approved where customers
won’t get loans just because of 1 or 2 less points. If the companies can
approve loans for those cases who have low CIBIL score l by just 1 or 2
points, then EMI sales can be improved.
• Bringing more awareness in the rural areas and towns regarding the
consumer durable loans can improve the sales by EMI.
59
CONCLUSION
By this study I have observed that the main motivational factors that are
influencing customers in the Bajaj electronics are 0% interest rate on the
consumer durable loan. customers are preferring to buy on EMI basis because
they are getting high cost products just by very low-down payment and even
zero down payment on specific products which is a delightful feeling. Some
customers are happy in taking products on EMI basis because the amount
deducted every month is very small amount which is easy and better than
paying the whole amount at a time.
EMI documentation is done by taking few documents then loan is approved in
period of 15-20 minutes and the payment is done according to the scheme
approved to the customer. Out of 100 people as sample 50 Customers like
purchasing through EMI and out of them 48 persons are having previous loans
and 38 are comfortable with the EMI documentation 5 are neutral and only 5
customers are not satisfied with documentation, as they expressed the reason
is that time taken for giving loan is more.
Existing customers have a positive perception towards the EMI method are
likely to suggest others regarding EMI purchasing, but there are major
problems addressed by customers are found in this study which are mostly
card block issues and low limit issues. Reducing this problem of the customers
can boost the EMI sales.

A consumer durable loan is a finance option for the purchase of household appliances, electronic goods, automobiles, furniture, jewellery, and sporting goods. Lenders check your annual income and credit history of the individual and lend the loan. Since consumer durable loans are unsecured loans, lenders particularly look at your repayment history and CIBIL Score (Credit Information Bureau India Limited). It is advisable to check your CIBIL Score on a regular basis and make sure there are no errors and the overall report looks positive to the lender. Documents that are required to seek a consumer durable loan vary from lender to lender. Generally, the list of documents includes: Identity proofs such as PAN Card, Voter’s ID, Aadhar Card etc and Address proof such as Passport, Driver’s License, Electricity Bill.

  • 17. 17 According to Jyothi rani who has done a research on Study regarding factors affecting online shopping decisions in Rohtak city explained the following This study reveals that the males are less doing the online shopping than females. The female is more into online shopping because they enjoy doing shopping compared to males. The young generation is more into purchasing from online sites because of the revolution in the technology among the youth population and they can use this technology for their well-being more than other age group category. Flipkart is the shopping site which is more preferred by the young generation. (Jyothi rani ,2018) According to Shrirang Altekar and Anil Keskar who had done research on A Study of the Factors Impacting the Buying Decision Process Specified Consumer Durables in NOIDA article, we can see that Family plays a crucial role in the final decision-making stage 94% in case of Home Appliances and 96% in case of electronic Goods. Again, the spouse is the most influential factor 52% for Home Appliances and 50% for Electronic Goods. Parents are the next influential factor for Home Appliances as 26% and Children as 16% for Home Appliances. However, in Electronic Goods children are however more influential than parents. ( Altekar, P. and Keskar, A. (2014). A Study of the Role of Income in Determining Shopping Formats and the Factors Impacting Brand Choice at the Pre-Store and In-Store Stages of the Buying Decision Process for Specified Consumer Durables in Noida. SSRN Electronic Journal.) According to FREDERIC S. MISHKIN who had studied on the topic Consumer Sentiment and Spending on durable Goods explains that consumer sentiment affects the purchase of durable goods. According to this view, the index of consumer sentiment reflects consumer perceptions of financial distress, which influence the decision to purchase durables because of their liquid nature. a good balance sheet position at the beginning of the period, which encourages confidence, will make the consumer more likely to purchase
  • 18. 18 durables and start a debt. In addition, the purchase of durables is often related by continuing improvements in the consumer's financial position, and thus the consumer would feel happier after a purchase. (FREDERIC S. MISHKIN,1978) According to Anitha goyal who had studied on the topic Managing perceived risk for credit card purchase through supplementary services this study has revealed that presence of supplementary services can manage consumer perceptions towards functional risk and psychological risk. An interesting finding is that males perceive more psychological benefit and females perceive more functional benefits with supplementary services for credit cards. Age above 55-year age group can be satisfied for psychological benefits of supplementary services with credit card purchase. This can result in increased usage of credit cards by this age group. (Anitha goyal,2018) According to Sushma patil who has done research on the topic IMPACT OF PLASTIC MONEY ON BANKING TRENDS IN INDIA around 50% of payments of the customers are done through credit/Debit cards. The customers have rated that the telephonic payment option is average due to long timeliness and security concern for CCV/PIN number. The introduction of ATM machines has changed the banking process also. Customers are preferring the ATM machines. The uses of plastic cards have also been increased because banking industries have also provided the 24x7 customer service for their customers. No hassles of carrying cash, Security of money, irritation free EMI’s, Easy to use, Personal Loan on Credit Ca rd. (Sushma patil,2014) According to a study conducted by Komal Dhanda and Usha Arora who has conducted research on topic Genesis of cashless society: A study on growing acceptability of plastic money said that Young Indians feel dignified in holding plastic currency and that they think about it as the good approach of paying. There’s still, a good potential left for the bankers to introduce a lot of services to tempt the shoppers on one side and improve their gain on the opposite.

Etransactions are the simplest method of transactions. But customers have a fear of risk of personal data. Banks are providing enough security.

(Akhter Anwarand, Sachin Hatol,2017) According to a study conducted by S. Jayakumar who conducted research on Consumer Durables rural India Calling which explains us that Indian incomes are likely to grow over the next two decades and India will become the world’s fifth largest consumer market by 2025 and becoming the 12th largest consumer market. With the easy availability of loans, the increase of double-income families, decrease in prices because of increased competition and government support, availability of disposable incomes, improvements in technology, reduction in customs duty, and growth in consumer size of the rural sector, the consumer durables industry is growing at a faster. (S. Jayakumar,2010) According to a study conducted by Sushma Patil who a research on the topic IMPACT OF PLASTIC MONEY ON BANKING TRENDS IN INDIA has done says that arrival of malls, multiplexes, online shopping stores, and shopping complexes is encouraging the customers to make use of plastic cards. The modern day, Indian customers are finding it easier to make payment by credit card or debit card instead of carrying too much cash. It benefits the consumer through product offerings at a lower cost and that too with delighting rewards, bonus points. But some customers are not able to utilize cards due to its complex nature and they don’t know how to operate it. The cost has also remained an issue in case of credit cards. The interest charged on the outstanding amount is very high which sometimes takes the customers in debts by discouraging the customers to make use of it (Shushma patil,2014)
  • 20. 20 According to a research conducted by Michael Wood on the topic Socioeconomic status shown that impulse buying Unplanned buying is commonplace in the modern retail and marketing environment. Indeed, the most recent study of ``in-store'' decision making carried out by the Point-of- Purchase Advertising Institute, with a sample size of more than 4,200 consumers, indicated that 60% of supermarket purchases and 53% of mass merchandise store purchases were unplanned (Wood, M. (1998). Socio-economic status, delay of gratification, and impulse buying. Journal of Economic Psychology, 19(3), pp.295-320). According to a study by-WEN CHIEN AND SHARON A. DEVANEY who has conducted a research on the topic The Effects of Credit Attitude and Socioeconomic Factors on Credit Card and Instalment Debt explains to us that a favourable attitude toward using credit can lead to a positive attitude of using credit, a higher likelihood of using credit may also encourage a positive attitude toward using credit. The results of the present study indicate that a favourable general attitude toward using credit has a positive effect on predicting the number of instalments loans, and favourable specific attitude toward using credit has a positive effect on predicting the amount of the credit card balance. The cognitive dissonance theory might be used to explain the conflict that consumers might experience when they charge a product or service and receive immediate happiness, although they know that the longer they delay paying the credit card balance, the more the goods or service will cost. Marital status and professional status are positively related to instalments debt. But, Education was positively related to credit card debt. ( CHIEN, Y. and DEVANEY, S. (2001).

  • 57. 57 FINDINGS • Major decision makers in the customers are males in case of purchase of consumer durable products. • Most of the customers visiting Bajaj electronics are married people. Because mostly married people involve in purchase of home appliances and consumer durables. • More than half customers visiting Bajaj electronics are from middle income group. • Only 40% of the customers are having EMI cards. • 21% of the respondents are having consumer durable loan from Bajaj finserv. • 18% of the respondents are having loan from capital first. • 52% of the respondents are not having any EMI loan. • Tata capital has 4% of respondents who took a consumer durable loan. • HDFC has 4% of respondents who took a consumer durable loan. • 46% of the respondents had said that zero interest will be the motivational factor for taking an EMI loan. • For 23% of the respondents easy to manage money will be the motivational factor. • 50% of the sample like cash purchase and the remaining 50% of sample like EMI purchase. • 39% of the sample are satisfied with the EMI documentation. • 33% of the sample are satisfied with the EMI card. • 72% of the sample are in favour to suggest EMI purchase to others. • 32% of the people shop on cash basis once in 6 months where as 33% of people shop on EMI basis once in 6 months. • When we take buying behaviour for 2 months, cash purchases are more (18%) when compared to EMI purchases (3%). • Most of the customers would like to clear the loan in a time of six months. • Customers won’t like very long period of payments.
  • 58. 58 SUGGESTIONS • Issuing more EMI cards can encourage customers for EMI purchases. • If the existing EMI card users are not using EMI card regularly then the card will be blocked by the company. This is stopping the customer from purchasing. If this card blocks are stopped, then there is a scope for increasing the EMI sales. • The documentation process is time consuming for the new customers for getting a loan. Decreasing of this process time can bring a positive attitude among the customers regarding the consumer durable loan. • Most of customers are not getting loans because of less CIBIL score. there are some cases where loans are not approved where customers won’t get loans just because of 1 or 2 less points. If the companies can approve loans for those cases who have low CIBIL score l by just 1 or 2 points, then EMI sales can be improved. • Bringing more awareness in the rural areas and towns regarding the consumer durable loans can improve the sales by EMI.
  • 59. 59 CONCLUSION By this study I have observed that the main motivational factors that are influencing customers in the Bajaj electronics are 0% interest rate on the consumer durable loan. customers are preferring to buy on EMI basis because they are getting high cost products just by very low-down payment and even zero down payment on specific products which is a delightful feeling. Some customers are happy in taking products on EMI basis because the amount deducted every month is very small amount which is easy and better than paying the whole amount at a time. EMI documentation is done by taking few documents then loan is approved in period of 15-20 minutes and the payment is done according to the scheme approved to the customer. Out of 100 people as sample 50 Customers like purchasing through EMI and out of them 48 persons are having previous loans and 38 are comfortable with the EMI documentation 5 are neutral and only 5 customers are not satisfied with documentation, as they expressed the reason is that time taken for giving loan is more. Existing customers have a positive perception towards the EMI method are likely to suggest others regarding EMI purchasing, but there are major problems addressed by customers are found in this study which are mostly card block issues and low limit issues. Reducing this problem of the customers can boost the EMI sales.
