Frequently Asked Questions

What expenses does an education loan cover?

An education loan covers tuition fees, hostel fees, examination fees, library fees, laboratory fees, purchase of books, equipment, instruments, uniforms, computer, travel expenses, caution deposit, building fund, and other expenses required to complete the course.

When do I start repaying my education loan?

Repayment of the education loan starts after the moratorium period, which includes the course duration plus 6 months or 1 year after getting a job, whichever is earlier. During the moratorium period, you only need to pay the simple interest on the loan amount disbursed.

Can I get an education loan without a co-applicant?

Generally, a co-applicant (usually a parent or guardian) is required for an education loan. However, if you have a regular source of income or can provide sufficient collateral, some lenders may consider your application without a co-applicant.

What tax benefits are available on education loans?

Under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act, you can claim a deduction on the interest paid on your education loan. There is no upper limit on the amount of interest paid that can be claimed as a deduction. This benefit is available for a maximum period of 8 years or until the interest is paid in full, whichever is earlier.
