Education Loan EMI

Calculate education loan EMI

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I start paying EMI for education loans?

Repayment typically begins after the moratorium period—usually course duration plus 6-12 months after completion. This gives time to find employment. Interest may accrue during moratorium.

What is a typical education loan interest rate?

Rates range from 8-14% depending on the lender, loan amount, and whether it's secured or unsecured. Government banks often offer lower rates (8-10%). Private lenders may charge 10-14%.

Can parents co-sign education loans?

Yes, a parent or guardian as co-applicant is often required, especially for students without income. The co-signer shares responsibility for repayment and their credit is also considered.

Are education loan interest payments tax deductible?

Yes, in India under Section 80E, interest paid on education loans is fully tax deductible with no upper limit. This benefit is available for 8 years from when repayment begins.

What happens if I can't find a job after graduation?

Contact your lender immediately. Most offer extended moratorium periods. Some have income-based repayment plans. Defaulting severely damages credit and may affect the co-signer.
