How is Education Loan repaid?

How is Education Loan repaid?

The loan repayment period usually starts 6–12 months after completing your course or once you secure a job—whichever is earlier. Lenders typically offer a moratorium period during which repayment is not mandatory. Repayment is made through Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs).

Here are the common repayment modes:

~ Internet Banking – Pay online via the lender’s website or mobile app
~ Cheque – Submit a cheque at any lender branch
~ Direct Debit/NACH – Set up auto-debit from your bank account on the EMI due date
~ Demand Draft – Repay via DD if applicable

The preferred method of repayment varies between lenders. Therefore, it is advisable to check with your lender when taking the loan. If money is the only obstacle in your way from achieving your professional goals, then consider taking an education or student loan to fulfil your goals. You can get collateral-free goals wherein you need not provide any security to the lender and your repayments will not start immediately after graduation.
