Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible to apply for an education loan?
An Indian citizen (typically aged 16–35) with confirmed admission to a recognized college/university in India or abroad.
A financial co-applicant (parent, spouse, or legal guardian) with a stable income source is required for full-time courses.
Can I get an education loan without collateral?
Yes. Unsecured (collateral-free) loans are usually available for up to ₹4 Lakh to ₹7.5 Lakhs standard. Lenders also offer collateral-free loans up to ₹40–₹50 Lakhs or higher if you secure admission into select premier institutions (e.g., IITs, IIMs, top global universities).
What expenses does the loan cover?
Tuition fees, examination/library/laboratory fees.
Hostel charges or accommodation expenses.
Books, equipment, computer/laptop, and study materials.
Travel expenses/airfare (for overseas studies).
What is a Moratorium Period (Grace Period)?
It is a temporary pause on principal loan repayment during your course duration plus an additional 6 to 12 months after graduation (or until you secure a job).
Is interest charged during the moratorium period?
Yes. Simple interest accrues during the study period. While full EMI repayment is deferred, paying partial simple interest during the course helps prevent compounding and reduces your overall loan burden.
What is the maximum loan tenure?
Most lenders offer flexible repayment terms ranging between 5 to 15 years after the moratorium period ends.
What can be submitted as collateral for higher loan amounts?
Tangible Real Estate: Residential house, flat, non-agricultural land.
Financial Assets: Fixed Deposits (FDs), Life Insurance policies (LIC), or government bonds.
Are there any tax benefits on education loans?
Yes. Under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act (in India), the entire interest paid on an education loan is eligible for tax deduction with no maximum upper limit for up to 8 consecutive years.
