India & Abroad Coverage
Loans for full-time graduate, postgraduate and diploma courses at recognised Indian institutes and approved foreign universities. Admission must be secured through entrance test or merit.
Course-Period Moratorium
Repayment typically starts after the course ends plus a grace period (commonly 6–12 months or on securing a job, whichever is earlier). Interest may accrue during study; many lenders allow interest-only payments in this period.
Long Flexible Tenure
Repayment tenures commonly extend up to 15 years (including the moratorium). Longer horizons keep EMIs manageable once the student starts earning.
Tax Benefit under Sec 80E
Interest paid on education loans for higher education is eligible for deduction under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act (old regime) with no upper limit on the interest amount, for a specified number of years.
Collateral & Unsecured Options
Lower ticket sizes and select premier-institute programmes often qualify for unsecured limits. Higher amounts may require collateral (property, fixed deposits, or other acceptable securities) as per the lender’s policy.
Co-Applicant Support
A parent, guardian, spouse or parent-in-law typically joins as co-applicant. Their income and credit profile strengthen the application and determine repayment capacity.
