What is an Education Loan?

An education loan is a student loan designed to support students in pursuing higher education in India or abroad. It covers tuition fees, accommodation expenses, exam and library fees, travel costs, and other academic expenses. These personal loans typically offer flexible repayment options, moratorium periods until course completion, and tax benefits on interest paid under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act. Students can apply with a co-borrower, such as a parent or guardian, ensuring financial security for lenders. Interest rates vary based on factors like the applicant’s academic record, institution ranking, and loan amount.

With Aditya Birla Capital’s Personal Loans for Education, you can get easy funding, attractive interest rates, digital onboarding, and a flexible tenure for loan repayment. Moreover, these are collateral-free loans, allowing you to obtain the desired funds without pledging collateral.

Revision of Reference Rates for determining Interest Rates on loans given

    A high credit score signals reliability to lenders and can help you get lower personal loan interest rates.

      High existing debt can lead to higher interest, as lenders see more risk in lending to heavily indebted borrowers.

      Stable income and employment history make you eligible for personal loans with low interest rates, as lenders perceive lower risk.

      Different banks and NBFCs have varying interest rate structures, so comparing offers helps identify the personal loan minimum interest rate available to you.

      Larger loans or longer repayment tenures may attract slightly higher personal loan rates due to increased risk.
