Application Process

The form for buying a scooter or motorcycle is obtained from the cooperative bank in the applicant's area.
It is then submitted at that bank together with these documents: Aadhaar card, birth certificate, bank account details, permanent residence certificate, quotation and ex-showroom price of the scooter/motorcycle, driving license, and details of two sureties.
Once submitted, applications are scrutinised and passed to the District Level Committee chaired by the District Magistrate/Chief Development Officer, before which they are placed for selection.
Through the District Cooperative Bank Head Office, the applications chosen by the committee go to the bank branches concerned. When the prescribed formalities are complete, the bank issues a loan sanction letter and pays the sanctioned amount straight to the institution or firm selling the scooter or motorcycle.
Loans run for a maximum of 3 years and are repaid in 35 equal monthly installments, with the first falling due one month after disbursement.

Ensure all required documents are ready before starting the application process.
