Benefits:

One can avail income tax benefits on education loan.  The tax benefits on education loan are only valid once you start the repayment and moreover they are only available up to eight years. For instance if  your loan tenure exceeds eight years, you cannot claim for deductions beyond eight years.

 

Hence it is better that the education loan is repaid within eight years. one should not opt for education loan with longer tenure.

Tax Benefits on education loan can only be claimed if the loan has been taken in your own name. If your parents, spouse or sibling has taken the loan for your studies, then you are not entitled to get tax benefit.

The loan includes not only tuition or college fees but also other incidental expenses for pursuing such studies like hostel charges, transport charges etc.

 

Top Up Loans:

 

Banks may consider top up loans to students pursuing further studies within the overall eligibility limit, with appropriate  re-schedulement, subject to taking required security.

 

           » Banks may give loans for further studies to students already having a loan on the basis of

              collateral security.

           » Depending on the job prospective after the student will complete the course

           » Depending on the past academic record of the student.

Things to do before applying for a loan

There are certain things that one must keep ready in order to make sure that the person gets loan as soon as possible.

 

  • »  Ensure that you have secured confirmed admission

  • »  Estimate the amount of loan required for the full course as banks have different rates of interests for different slabs of loan amount.

  • »  Usually guarantors are required for sanctioning of loans so that if the applicant fails to pay the loan the same can be paid by the guarantor. Should have regular source of income to the extent that they are able to repay the loan in case of need/unforeseen circumstances

  • »  Guarantors are essential for sanctioning of loans. Usually, a guarantor is required so that if the applicant fails or becomes incapable of repaying, the guarantor will be responsible for clearing the debt. Usually, a guarantor so chosen is a person with a net worth (i.e., annual income) equivalent to, or more than, the loan amount.

  • »  Lastly keep all the documents ready.

  • »  Apply on time to avoid later confusion. Banks usually take around 15-30 days for processing the documents.

  • »  Some institutes/colleges even have tie ups with banks and even assist students in getting education loan.

  • »  Enquire with the institute if it has any tie-ups with banks or whether it assists students in applying for educational loans. Most of the reputed colleges/institutes have a tie-up with certain banks for educational loans. The main criterion for these banks is confirmed admission. Hence, checking this out could be worthwhile.
