Frequently Asked Questions

How is education loan EMI calculated?
Education loan EMI is calculated using the formula: EMI = P×r×(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n-1), where P=principal, r=monthly interest rate, n=tenure in months. Interest rates range from 9-16% p.a. depending on loan type. EMI repayment typically starts after course completion plus 6-month grace period[377][382].
What is moratorium period in education loans?
Moratorium period is the time during which you don't need to pay EMI - typically course duration plus 6 months. Interest accrues during this period and is added to principal. Options: Complete moratorium (no payment), partial moratorium (interest-only payment), or full EMI payment with discount[379][383].
What tax benefits are available on education loans?
Under Section 80E, entire interest paid on education loan is deductible (no upper limit) but only in old tax regime. Benefit available for 8 years from interest payment start or until loan repayment completion. Principal repayment doesn't get tax benefit. Effective interest rate reduces by 20-30%[383][385].
What's the difference between secured and unsecured education loans?
Secured loans require collateral (property/FD) and offer lower interest rates (9-12%) with higher loan amounts (₹20+ lakh). Unsecured loans don't need collateral but have higher rates (12-16%) and lower amounts (up to ₹10 lakh). Secured loans are preferred for study abroad and expensive courses[378][381].
How much education loan can I get for studying abroad?
For studying abroad: Secured loans up to ₹1.5 crore, unsecured loans up to ₹40 lakh (varies by bank). Loan covers tuition, living expenses, travel, and equipment costs. Collateral mandatory above ₹7.5 lakh. Interest rates 1-2% higher than domestic loans. Strong academic profile and admission to reputed university essential[381][384].
