Education Loan

Invest in Your Future Without Financial Stress

An Education Loan is the smartest way to fund higher studies in India or abroad without draining your family's savings. Whether for Engineering, Medical, Management, or specialized courses, we help you secure funding that covers tuition fees, hostel charges, and even travel expenses. Focus on your grades—let the loan handle the fees.

Who is the Borrower?

Primary Borrower (Student)

The loan is always in the name of the student. It helps the student build their own credit score (CIBIL) from a young age.

Co-Borrower (Parent/Guardian)

Since students usually don't have an income, a parent, legal guardian, or sibling must be the co-applicant. Lnders check the co-borrower's financial profile (income, ITR, CIBIL) to sanction the loan.

Eligibility Criteria

For the Student

  • Citizenship: Resident Indian.
  • Admission: Confirmed admission letter from a recognized university/institution (UGC/AICTE approved or reputed foreign university).
  • Age: Typically 18 to 35 years (varies by lender).
  • Academic Record: Strong academic history (10th, 12th, Degree) improves approval chances.

For the Co-Borrower

  • Income Stability: Must have a regular source of income (Salaried or Self-Employed).
  • CIBIL Score: A score of 700+ is preferred. Defaults or low scores can lead to rejection.

Collateral Requirements (Security)

Banks follow strict RBI guidelines based on the loan amount:

Loan Amount Collateral / Security Required
Up to 4 Lakhs No Collateral, No Third-party Guarantee. Parents are joint borrowers.
4 Lakhs - ₹7.5 Lakhs Third-Party Guarantee required (usually from an earning relative or family friend) + Parents as joint borrowers.
Above 7.5 Lakhs Tangible Collateral required (Property, Fixed Deposit, LIC Policy, etc.) equal to the loan value.

Note: Loans from NBFCs (like HDFC Credila, Avanse) may offer higher collateral-free limits (up to 20-40 Lakhs) for premier institutes (IIMs, IITs) but usually at higher interest rates.

Documents Required Checklist

A. Student's Documents

  • KYC: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport (mandatory for study abroad).
  • Academic: 10th, 12th, and Graduation mark sheets.
  • Admission: Admission Letter + Fee Structure.
  • Entrance Exam: Scorecard (GRE, GMAT, CAT, NEET, etc.).

B. Co-Borrower's Documents

Interest Rates of Major Banks

Interest rates are floating and linked to the Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR).

Bank Type Interest Rate Range Processing Fee
Public Sector (SBI, PNB, Canara, BoB) 8.55% - 10.50% Low (5k-10k) or Nil for some schemes
Private Banks (Axis, ICICI, HDFC) 10.50% - 13.00% 1% - 1.5% of Loan Amount
NBFCs (Credila, Avanse, Auxilo) 11.00% - 14.50% 1% - 2% + GST

Repayment & The "Moratorium"

The Moratorium Period

Also known as the "Holiday Period". You do not have to pay the Principal amount while studying.

Repayment Start

Repayment typically starts after Course Duration + 6 months to 1 year (varies by bank).

Loan Tenure

You typically get 10 to 15 years to repay the loan, making EMIs manageable.

Pro Tip

Paying simple interest during the moratorium prevents interest from compounding and adding to your principal later.

Tips for Easy Repayment

Pay Interest During Study

If parents can afford it, paying just the simple interest (e.g., ₹2,000-₹3,000/month) during the course reduces the final EMI burden significantly.

Use Tax Benefits

Under Section 80E, the interest paid on an education loan is 100% tax-deductible for up to 8 years. This saves parents a huge amount of tax!

Prepay When Possible

Most education loans have zero prepayment penalty. Whenever the student gets a bonus or hike after getting a job, use it to pay off the principal.
