streams to buy consumer products upfront and pay in installments over a period.

(Continued)
The most popular finance scheme prevalent in the market currently is the 12/4
scheme, where the financier collects the amount for the first four months as
initial down payment from the buyer and then disburses the full amount to the
dealer. The financier then recovers the balance amount in 8 monthly
installments from the buyer. The interest and processing charges are generally
paid upfront by the manufacturer to the financier. Consumer durables financing
appears robust, continued support from would be critical to sustain high growth.
