Determining education loan EMIs can be easy. In the case of taking a loan of 20 lakhs for an annual interest rate of 10% with course fees of 2 years and a loan repayment period of 10 years, you have to pay ₹32,707 per month or ₹39,268 per annum. First, the interest part is larger, and the principal portion is added successively. The balance loan by the end of year 1 is ₹23,23,179, which declines every year and becomes ₹0 by the end of the last year, i.e., year 10. Knowledge of this breakdown assists in the management of the loan during the entire period of loan repayment.

Ask your financial officer at WeMakeScholars to do the EMI calculation part on your behalf!

Interest payment in the moratorium period is optional in the RBL bank. However, if you opt out of paying it in the moratorium period, it will add up in the following EMIs.

You can also close off the loan before the tenure ends through the following ways.

• Loan transfer to another bank
• Choosing a shorter duration to repay the amount
• Prepayment
