Things to Remember while Taking an Education Loan

Things to Remember while Taking an Education Loan

Interest Rate

Interest Rate

The lower the interest rate the better it is. You should seek a fixed or reduced rate of interest.

Base Rate

Base Rate

The two base rate types offered by Indian Banks are Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) & Marginal Cost of Fund Based Lending Rate(MCLR). Avail a loan based on MCLR, as it’s easier to pay back due to lower interest payments. 

Eligibility for the Loan

Eligibility for the Loan

Some educational loans are only offered to students with consistent grades and an excellent academic track record only. Apply for a loan to a bank only after reading their criteria.

Payback Period

Payback Period

Choose a longer-term payback period. This will keep the monthly EMI payment low.

Credit Score

Credit Score

If we have a bad credit score, a loan might not be given, or we might have to provide collateral for our loan.

Repayment Holiday are the period after being granted a loan during which we do not make a payment towards the loan. This period doesn’t come for free. The interest of this period is covered in overall loan repayment.

 

There is a subsidy that can be availed on repayment holiday time via this link.
