Questions families ask

What is a moratorium on an education loan?

It is the period when you do not pay EMIs: usually the course length plus 6 to 12 months. Interest still runs during this time. If you do not pay it, it is added to the loan before EMIs begin.

Should I pay interest while studying?

If your family can, yes. Paying simple interest during the course keeps the loan amount from growing and lowers the EMI later.

Is education loan interest tax-deductible?

In India, interest paid on an education loan can be claimed under Section 80E for up to eight years from the year repayment starts. Check the current rules with a tax adviser.
