Education Loan FAQs

  • What is an overdue amount?

    The loan balance that a client fails to return on time is referred to as being "loan overdue." In such circumstances, the lender may assess a late payment fee or an overdue interest rate on the amount past due.

  • Can I transfer my education loan?

    Yes, you can transfer your existing education loan to another bank.

  • Can I apply for an education loan if I haven’t got admission yet?

    Yes, you can always try applying for an education loan before getting the admit to getting an estimation of how much amount you can get from the loan.

  • Can I reduce my education loan interest rate?

    Yes, the interest rates can be negotiated with the banks depending on the applicant’s profile for an education loan. To know more about it, request a callback from us.

  • Which is better: Reducing the EMI or reducing the repayment tenure of my education loan?

    Reducing your repayment tenure is better than reducing your EMI. A reduced EMI might be a better option for people with a lot of other debts to pay as it reduces the load for each month. But a smaller EMI each month results in a longer repayment tenure because of which you end up paying a lot more in the form of interest.
