Pursuing higher education is one of the most important investments in a student’s future. However, rising tuition fees and associated costs can often become a barrier.
Lower interest rates mean reduced monthly EMIs, making repayment manageable even at the early stages of a career.
Most education loans come with a moratorium period course duration plus a few months allowing students to start repayment after securing a job.
These loans usually cover tuition fees, accommodation, books, travel (for overseas studies), and other related costs.
Interest paid on education loans is eligible for tax deductions under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act.
Depending on the institution and course, students can avail loans ranging from a few lakhs to higher amounts for international studies.
