From Wikiprocedure
Jump to: navigation, search

Procedure[edit]

First check whether your educational institute has a tie-up with any bank for educational loans. If it has, there could be more flexibility in collateral and documents required or interests rates offered to you. If not, it is preferable to approach the bank branch where one of the parents have an account. However, in certain cities, there may be branches designated for issuing education loans.

This loan is repayable from one year after the completion of the course or from 6 months from gainful employment whichever is earlier. The repayment period is typically 5-7 years. The interest until the beginning of repayment is borne by the Government of India for low income families. After repayment starts, the borrower can claim income deduction for the interest under section 80-E.
