1.INTRODUCTION
The two wheeler industry has been expanding rapidly. Gone are the days when
processing a two wheeler was seen as a luxury.
Now a day it is viewed as a mere necessity. Prior, sale of two
wheelers was mainly confined to urban areas but lately in rural areas
the bicycles are being replaced by power driven two wheelers such as
scooters and motorcycles.
Not only this, the industry has also customers ranging from all
demographic segment s.
It has been common that even school going children are driving two wheelers.
The women customers are also increasing due to increase in women literacy and
employment.
If getting a new customer is difficult, then retaining a current customer is more
difficult one and not only that it is estimated that the cost of attracting a new customer
is five times retaining the current customer.
It requires a great deal of effort to induce satisfied customer to

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR TWO
WHEELER EMI
Owning our own vehicle, be it a car or a bike is a luxury for most
Indians. Most of us feel it is a necessity to own a two wheeler at
least in order to improve our lifestyle. Most of us are also not
fortunate enough to have a large sum of money at our disposal.
54
The best option, many of us find, is to get a two wheeler loan so
we can finance that dream bike.
Preferred credit
750 and above

55
Minimum income Pretty low

telephone number
Age: Many banks offer bike loans to those who are 18 years or
older. Many accept applications from only those who are 21
and above. The maximum age limit to apply for a bike loan is
generally 65 years, but this may also vary depending on the
bank.
56
Minimum income: Different banks have different expectations
when it comes to the minimum monthly income that is required
of you that will make you eligible for a loan. In general, a
minimum of Rs. 5000 per month is the required income that will
make you eligible for a bike loan from most banks.
Residence: Some banks will require that you have been living
at the same residence for over a year.
Credit History: A good credit score will make it easier for you to
get a good deal on your two wheeler loan. Try to maintain a
good credit history in order to get the best deal possible. Even if
your credit history is not in the best shape, chances are that
you will still be approved a two wheeler loan, but the terms will
not be as great as it would be if you have a good credit history.
Sometimes, even the issue of a bad CIBIL score can be skirted
with when taking a bike loan because it comes under the
category of a secured loan, your bike being the security.

cycle soldis from Honda. It is has many award to its credit How strong the brand may
be, every organization has to strive to improve customer satisfaction.
With increasing competition and customer expectations, Customer

Dealers play a very important role in the marketing of any product. Their role is vital
mainly in the case of consumer durables in general and automobiles in
particular.
Unlike majority of consumer durables, automobiles need periodic
maintenance. Two whe elers have a peculiar feature as they are used by
common man who hardly has anyknowledge of the functioning or repairing of the
vehicle, dealers’ role is very important. Dealerscan enhance or tarnish the image of
the company and the product how ever good it may be.The strength of Honda motors
is its channel partners, and service availability every where.The findings of the study

that they would not prefer the dealer after free services.
68
Dealer and Company should ensure availability of flagship brand Activa.

company brands.
Customers are suspecting the dealers role in sticking to booking schedule.
Efforts to be taken to ensure transparency in booking. Customer feedback system
after sale and service would improve the image of the dealer.
Dealer has to tie up with banks to provide finance at competitive interest rates.
Dealer has to be aggressive in marketing the vehicles as they face a very tough
competition from local Honda Dealer i.e., Jupiter Honda Dealer as well as the
