With loan insurance, you can make sure that your co-applicant doesn’t become liable to pay back the entire loan amount in case of disability or death of the applicant.

Indian Overseas Bank Loan Margin

Loan Scheme

Loan Scheme

Indian overseas higher education loan for abroad

15%

Indian overseas higher education loan for India

5%

 

If a student takes out a loan of 25 Lakhs with a loan margin of 5%, then the loan margin would become 1.25 lacs. And, therefore, they can get an education loan of a maximum of up to Rs 23.5 lacs, and the rest of Rs 1.25 lacs, Students will have to arrange themselves.

We believe that by reducing the loan margin, we can help students and their families save money on loan repayments, and make education more affordable and accessible.
