INTRODUCTION:
Education loan in India
Now, Education Loans are easily available from various banks in India. Many
Nationalized banks are coming up with various Educational Loan schemes and
more students can take up higher education despite of their financial problem.
Constitution of India lists Right to Education as one of the fundamental rights.
Tough this only covers education till the age of 14 years, but over the year
number of students graduating from various institutes have increased. Infact,
educational loan is one of the most crucial loans that one avails throughout their
lives. As per the Ministry of Finance directives, education comes under the
priority sector. So the government makes sure that the interest of the students is
always preserved at the same time keeping the interest of the lenders intact.
To meet this ever growing demand for educational loans the Indian Banks
Association (IBA) devised Model Educational Loan Scheme in 2001. The
scheme was conceptualized by a recommendations of a study group of IBA,
which was approved by RBI and given to banks for accepting and implementing
in their education loan products.
An Education loan is designed to help students pay for college tuition, books,
and living expenses. It differs from other types of loans in that the interest rate
is substantially lower and the repayment terms are easy. An education loan is a

form of financial support from any bank or financial institution that enables a
student for taking higher education. Availability of the education loan, at the
appropriate time can help millions of deserving bright young Indians to achieve
their dreams come true. All graduation, post-graduation and professional
courses from institutes approved by the state and central government and also
from foreign universities are eligible for loan.
These days education comes with a cost and higher education seems to be
proving costlier day by day.
The question haunting most of the deserving students, whose parents / guardians
are not rich enough, is with respect to any available financing options. To
support such students so that they may not left behind from the main league of
education, the government of India has formulated Educational Loan Scheme.
Two banking and financial Apex Bodies, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and
Indian Bankers Association (IBA) have helped the government in preparing the
plan and procedure for educational loans. The new scheme covers all types of
courses including professional courses in schools and colleges in India and
abroad.
The rising cost of higher education has become a big cause of worry for
students and parents alike. How will one be able to fund the huge expense
required for professional courses is the prime concern for people seeking to
increase their qualifications. If a student is seeking to go abroad for pursuing
higher studies, the costs are far greater as compared to studying in India. An
education loan to pay for the high tuition fees and other associated costs is fast
becoming a need for an ambitious student.

Education loan is a special purpose loan given by banks and financial
institutions to cover the cost of any higher degrees or specialized courses. The
education loan provided by banks in India cover the fee Payable to the College,
School or Hostel. It also covers the examination fee, library fee, lab fees,
caution deposits, refundable deposit asked by the institution. Building fund
supported by Institution bills or receipts, Purchase of Books, equipments,
instruments, uniforms, Travel expenses/passage money for studies abroad,
purchase of computers - essential for completion of the course and any otherexpense required to complete the course - like study tours, project work, thesis,
etc are also covered.
Banks provide great financial help needed to cover almost all the expenses
incurred for a successful completion of the desired course. Banks in India now
cover a wide spectrum of courses in their education loan schemes. Catering both
to under graduate and post graduate courses, banks readily provide education
loans for management, engineering, medicine, MCA, fine arts, designing,
architecture, hotel management, agriculture, pure sciences, arts and commerce
courses. Banks do consider the reputation and affiliation of institute from where
the course is being conducted, before giving any educational loan. Indian banks
while providing education loans require that the applicant must be a resident
Indian having secured admission in any of the bank's list of approved course oruniversities. Whether you get 100% of the cost of education as education loan
or not, depends on individual banks.

TYPES OF EDUCATIONAL LOANS:-
Want to study ahead but the fees are too high? Looking for a way to fund your college studies? All
you need is an Education Loan. There are a variety of education loans out there, available for all
students. What needs to be done is to gain a detailed knowledge about all of them, before you
decide which one of them suits you the best.
Broadly, there are two types of education or student loans:
Federal Loans
Federal loans are one of the commonly opted for loans, like the Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, and
PLUS loans. These loans are basically financed by the government, but they are taken out through
financial organizations and firms.
Out of the above mentioned three loan schemes, the Stafford and Perkins loans are two of the
frequently opted for loan schemes by the undergraduates. The main reason for this is that these two
loan schemes are generally known for giving reasonably low loan interest rates to their student
applicants.
In the case of Federal loans, the student loan rate of interest is decided by the government and
controlled by the current financial system, because these loans are given to those applicants who
are able to show that they have considerable financial need.
Private Loans
Private loans are those offered by private financing firms and organizations or schools. Often it
happens that many students cannot qualify for federal loans. In such cases, Private loans come to
their rescue. Eligibility for Private loans often depends on a students credit score.
Since many different financial firms offer Private loans services, the loan interest rate of each of
them varies from one another. Therefore, it is always best to look around to find the best loan rate
which is also the lowest interest rate for a Private loan which you can qualify for.
An educational loan is a kind of a monetary support that has to be reimbursed on time. There are
various types of loan alternatives which can assist you. Educational loan can be a vital element withyour monetary assisting as a whole. It does not matter whether you opt to study at university level,

also very attractive. There is no need of paying the money during your time of
study. It will also help you to save income taxes during time of repayment.
Disadvantages of Educational Loans: Almost all financial institutions that
provide educational loan aims at increasing their profits and they are not that
much concerned about the students. There are many students who get trapped in
unsuitable educational loans and the main reason behind it is lack of proper
knowledge. Banks who provide educational loans used to charge an additional
late fee if the amount is not repaid in time. In the early days, almost all banks
will not disclose the provision of late fee. In many cases, students will not get a
proper job after their studies. During this time, they will be under huge financial
stress. Also, they will hold the long term liability of stress due to these

OBJECTIVES OF THE EDUCATION LOANS
According to a survey approximately the number of students who will graduate in
the year 2010 will be having a credit balance of 30,000 pounds. Adding to this a
normal student opting for further education at university level will be having a
credit balance of approximately 10, 000 pounds.
Probably the students might not get a job with a decent salary for many years
after completing their graduation. Sadly their salary will also not be sufficient for
paying the balance they have gathered.

not give much importance to the educational loans provided by private institutes

from other banks. Disposal Application Loan applications have to be disposed
of within a period of 15 days to 1 month, but not exceeding the time norms
stipulated for disposing of loan applications under priority sector lending.
Flexibility in terms In order to bring flexibility in terms like eligibility, margin,
security norms, banks may consider relaxation in the norms on a case-to-case
basis delegating the powers to a fairly higher level authority.
Model Educational Loan Scheme
The prime motive of the scheme is to benefit the "meritorious" students
irrespective of their economic background. The IBA defines meritorious
students as " If the student has obtained admission to an eligible course through
a merit based selection process, he/she could be considered a meritorious
student." The banks have also enlisted the courses for which the loans would beavailable, though the list is not all inclusive , the bank reserves the right to
sanction or reject the loan based on employability of the course. There has been
a debate going off-late on whether the students getting admission
undermanagement quota be given education loans or not.
Apart from eligibility of student and course, norms pertaining to important
facets of loan such as security/collateral, guarantee, interest rates, moratorium
period, repayment tenure, margin et al are all covered under the scheme.

The best education loan from banks in India: 6 factors to compare
Is pursuing a course of your choice abroad one of the priorities of your life? Do
you want to be among the top notch professional with a reputed foreign
university degree under your belt? Chances are good that to fulfill all these
aspirations you will need an educational loan. Staying and living abroad along
with the payment for your choice of course require a huge amount of money.
With the recent spurt in global economy these costs are rising even further.
However, leading banks in India are more than willing to be a part of your
dream.
Be it SBI, ICICI bank, HDFC bank, Citibank, Bank of Baroda, AXIS bank and
other Govt. and private sector banks, all are lined up to provide an education
loan to the deserving aspirant. The innovative products offered by these bankshave simple terms and provide the much needed financial assistance in a very
short period of time.
With all these banks competing to provide an educational loan for your choice
of course, what all things should you keep in mind while applying for an
educational loan from banks in India? Here are the 6 most important factors that
you should compare before taking any education loan from banks.
1. Interest rates
The first and the foremost is the interest rates charged on the education loan.
This interest rate is the primary factor that earns money for banks and so they
want it to be higher, but the competition in the loan market makes the bank keep
-
8/13/2019 Banking 100 Mrk
39/63
39
it to a level where the education loan seems affordable to the customer, while it
earns money for the banks too. Whether the interest rate charged on your
education loan is fixed or floating is also a matter of concern. Generally, the
value of fixed interest rates is higher than the floating interest rates. Going for
floating interest rates in this low interest regime is always a better option.
The interest rates also depend on the amount of education loan one wants,
keeping in mind all the realistic requirements, a judicious comparison of various
offers from leading banks will certainly help the student find an education loan
that pinches the least.
2. How the interest is charged?
Though the banks defer repayments, but they start charging the interest
immediately after the disbursal of the loan. How this interest is charged will
determine the amount of interest you will pay. Enquire carefully whether it is
charged on a daily reducing balance, or on a quarterly reducing balance. The
interest rates charged on loans thus keep accumulating until you start the
repayments. This can significantly increase the repayment burden. If the bank
providing education loan gives an option to pay the interest portion of your
education loan immediately, use it by all means.
3. The waiver period
The third most important thing to watch out is the waiver period. Banks
providing education loans generally don't expect the student to pay until he
-
8/13/2019 Banking 100 Mrk
40/63
40
gains employment after completion of the course. Check this out carefully, does
your education loan provider gives you such an option? The whole idea is to get
comfortable financially before the bank asks you for a repayment.
4. Fees and other costs
The fees associated with the education loan such as processing fees,
administrative fees, documentation costs etc. should be minimal.
5. Collateral, guarantee or security
There is a collateral clause with all the educational loans from banks in India
provided the education loan exceeds a value of 4 lacs. This figure can vary from
bank to bank but it is generally a norm. Make sure to ask the bank about
collateral requirements and have it ready before the disbursal of loan.
6. The down payment
A down payment also has to be made with every education loan, ranging
between 5%-20% of the loan amount depending on banks this money has to be
paid upfront.

Increase education loan lending: Nair
Committee recommendations
Banks are concerned as non-performing assets in education loans are ashigh as 6%. Meanwhile, SBI, largest public sector lender, announced aninterest rates cut on education loans up to 1%The committee constitutedby the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to re-examine the existing classification and
suggest revised guidelines for the lending to the priority sector, has recommended an increase in lending limit for
education loan by Rs5 lakh.
The committee headed by MV Nair, chairman, Union Bank of India, in a report suggested to that limit underpriority sector for loans for studies in India may be increased to Rs15 lakh and Rs25 lakh in case of studies
abroad, from existing limit of Rs10 lakh and Rs20 lakh, respectively.
The RBI has sought comments on the report of the Committee.
Redefining the scope of education loans by removing the limits and fixing it on the basis of parents income,
covering vocational and skill development under its ambit and establishing a credit fund to cover the risk of
defaults were some of the suggestions received by the committee.
There is no suggestion on the lending up to Rs4 lakh, given without any security or collateral. Experts say that
this category also has highest number of repayment defaults.
Non-performing assets (NPAs) in education loans are as high as 6%. To bring down NPAs in education loans, the
government is considering the option of setting up a credit guarantee trust.
Last year, the Indian Banks Association (IBA), which has formulated the model education loan policy, had
recommended of creating a credit guarantee fund to tackle the problem of rising defaults in the loan category ofup to Rs4 lakh. The committee has said that it is under consideration.
Recently, IBA asked lenders to impose stricter terms on loans given to students getting admission under the
management quota. Any loan considered by banks for students getting admission under the management quota
would be outside the model scheme. Banks may fix appropriate terms and conditions for such loans, IBA said in
a guidance note.
Experts, say that there is need to address the issue of lending to students under management quota as it might
impact large number of students opting admission through this route.
According to Prashant Bhonsale, country head of Credila Financial Services, a private lender specializing in
education loans, Though the move is in the right direction considering the risk factors from the point of view of
the lender, there is a need for risk-management framework for lending to these average students.
An official of Mumbai-based public sector bank, which has seen 16%-17% growth in the education loan portfolio,
confirmed that, It is left to each bank to decide on the lending to students under the management quota. It wontcome under the IBA policy. We are looking into it. I cannot commit anything right now.
According to the current guidelines, banks lend up to Rs4 lakh without any security. But for loans between Rs4
lakh and Rs7.5 lakh, they can ask for personal guarantees, and for a loan above Rs7.5 lakh, a collateral is required.
After the apex bank eased its monetary policy, State Bank of India, largest public sector lender, announced an
interest rates cut on education loans up to 1%.

The rate on educational loans ranges from 11.5% to 14.25%, depending on the course, duration and
university , which for a Rs 30-lakh loan would translate into an EMI of Rs 50,000 per month.
And with countries like UK imposing restrictions on work visa after studies as well as a bond of 3,000
pounds for a visa to crack down on illegal immigration, students will have no choice but to head back
to India after completing their course.
This, coupled with the tepid job market in India, could compound the miseries of the borrower.
"Assuming a take-home of Rs 70,000 per month on a Rs 10-lakh offer and with an EMI of Rs 50,000,
it would be really tough to meet other living expenses like rent, transportation , etc," Sanjoy Sircar,
professor of finance, Great Lakes Institute of Management , said. "Either the student would have to
take a topup loan or cough up from his or her own resources," Kartik Jhaveri, director, Transcend
Consulting, said.
But there is some silver lining too. Students who have taken a loan earlier for a masters programmeand have completed their course and got a job in the US would now have to remit fewer dollars in
EMIs towards the rupee loan taken back home.
Education loans a problem at sub-6% growth, SBI chief says
MUMBAI: Pratip Chaudhuri's tenure as SBI chairman has been one of extremes. The bank recorded
its highest ever profit of Rs 14,105 crore, but this was marred by a surge in bad loans. The sell-off in
bank stocks resulted in SBI losing its position as the most valuable bank but Chaudhuri reaffirmed its
fundamentally strong image by bolstering Tier-I capital adequacy to well over 9% and providing for
pension liabilities. Excerpts from an interview with TOI:
SBI has tightened income criteria for car loans. Will you do this for all retail loans?
We have done this for auto loans as we feel that those with higher income are less likely to default.Home loans are different because it is against property and it also enhances the borrower's income

through rentals or savings in rent. Education loans will become a problem if, going forward, the
economy does not grow at 6% as enough jobs won't be created and also employment would come at
lower salaries. That is why we have extended the tenure of our education loan from five to twelve
years. We hope the government brings in the guarantee scheme for education loans.
Falling rupee raises restrictions for loans to study abroad
We all are aware of the falling rupee. This year, while the rupee has depreciated around 20%,
students who dream of studying abroad are left with fear and disappointment. Moreover, there is a
raise in restrictions for obtaining the educational loans to study abroad. Some students are seeking
extra bank loans. However, a Rs. 2 million (US $ 36,500) ceiling on loans for overseas education is
making this difficult. According to source, the loan limit had not changed since 2001 when the
exchange rate was Rs25 to Rs30 to the US dollar, as compared to around Rs50 now. In 2001, a
maximum loan could cover an Indian student's full education costs in most countries. Now, which is
barely enough for one year. Ankur Sarthi, a final year undergraduate student at Delhi university said,
"I have already secured a Rs2 million loan from a national bank and I was denied any additional
amount." It is common for students to apply for a student loan several months in advance for taking
up a place overseas. Sarthi secured a loan two months ago. "I had applied to universities across
multiple countries. Now I have to pick the cheapest country and also one that gives me
opportunities to earn while I study," Sarthi said. A senior official at a public sector bank asked, "You
have to look at the return on an expensive higher education abroad. If a student spends Rs. 2 millionto Rs. 3 million on education in a world-class Institution but struggles to get a well paying job, is the
education worth it?" The source also highlights India's slowing economic growth and a cloudy jobs
outlook in the last four years has raised fear of risky loans, while the number of students seeking
loans has gone up significantly. As of March 2013, there were 2,509,465 Education loan accounts
with a total amount outstanding of Rs5.352 billion. Over 5% of outstanding student loans had turned
bad, up from 2% in 2008. According to few reports, banks are contemplating and extending the
repayment period of loans taken to pursue higher Studies abroad, to spread interest payments over
a longer period and reduce the cost.
RBI looking into the issue of SBI shaming students
C HENNAI: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is looking into the complaint against State Bank of India
(SBI) for shaming students and their parents for defaulting on their education loan. "RBI's assistant
general manager Sharmila Sampath Kumar has sent me an email on August 28 stating that the issue
is receiving the attention of the central bank," K Srinivasan, convenor, education loan task force
(ELTF), said here Wednesday. ELTF guides students on rules and regulations governing the education
loans offered by nationalised banks. It also insists that students repay their dues. The Bodinayakanur
branch of SBI in Theni district, 515km from here, displayed photos of students and their parents for

defaulting on their educational loans. Several political parties like DMK, CPI, VCK and others had
condemned the SBI's action. DMK president M Karunanidhi had said, "When several money sharks
are cheating banks of thousands of crores of rupees by not repaying loans, it is defamatory to display
photos of students from poor and middle-class families for defaulting on education loans." The CPI
had said, "Indian industrialists get about Rs 5 trillion in annual tax concessions. Big industrial groups
do not repay loans and these are written off as bad debts. Not worrying about these, the central
government and the SBI are shaming students who had availed education loan. It is highly
condemnable." Srinivasan in his complaint to RBI said SBI's total advances as on March 2012 were Rs
7.58 lakh crore and its non-performing assets were Rs 37,156 crore - around five per cent of its total
loan portfolio. He said SBI's total education loan as on March 2012 was only Rs 11,500 crore spread
over 560,000 accounts. The non-performing assets (NPA) under education loan portfolio would be
around Rs 400 crore or two/three per cent as against the total NPA of Rs 37,156 crore. Given this
situation, why should SBI single out the poor Education loan defaulters and shame them by
displaying their photographs, Srinivasan said in his complain.
Student loans: Interest rates set to doubleMondayStudent loans: Interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans are set to go from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent onMonday. Some are calling for an extension of the current student loan interest rates for another year.
By Philip Elliott,Associated Press/ June 29, 2013
Student loan rates will double Monday at least for a while after a compromise to keep student loan
interest rates low proved unwinnable before the July 1 deadline, senators said Thursday.

Mumbai, Sept 21: challenges
The Finance Ministry has asked public sector banks to put in place a three-tier grievanceredressal mechanism to sort out problems being faced by students in obtaining education
loans.
Banks have also been asked to make education loan applicants aware of the mechanism at
the branch, zonal office and head-office levelsat the time of submission of loan
application.
Besides, the ministry wants banks to introduce a system of review by the next higher
authority where application for education loan is rejected.
These directives come in the wake of the Finance Ministers observation that students
wanting to get education loans were facing a number of problems.
