After the recent regulation on smartphone installments, attention has now turned to electronics and home appliances. According to claims circulating in the Turkish press, installment terms for these product groups have been redefined, with maximum limits varying by category.

Devices that have become almost essential in daily life and business are reportedly now subject to installment periods that differ by product type — a change that could directly affect household budgets. Details are being eagerly awaited.

Installment limits by product category

According to the claims, tablet and computer purchases are capped at a maximum of 6 installments. For televisions, the distinction is price-based: TVs priced below 5,000 TL can be paid off over up to 9 months, while models above 5,000 TL see that window shrink to 4 months.

  • Tablets and computers: maximum 6 months
  • Televisions: 9 months for models under 5,000 TL, 4 months for models above 5,000 TL
  • Refrigerators, washing machines and small home appliances: 9 months regardless of price

For products such as refrigerators, washing machines and small electric household appliances, installments of up to 9 months are said to be possible regardless of price. The same 9-month ceiling reportedly applies to furniture purchases.

Travel and accommodation spending, by contrast, appears to face a more flexible regime. In this category, installment plans are said to extend up to 18 months.

There has been no official announcement on the matter so far, meaning the accuracy of these claims still needs to be confirmed by statements from the relevant authorities.
