What is an education loan?
Education loans are financial instruments designed to cover the full cost of a student's academic journey — tuition fees, accommodation, books, laptops, travel, and other course-related expenses. They bridge the gap between a family's savings and the actual cost of quality education, both in India and abroad.
In Surat, students typically need around ₹10 Lakhs for domestic programs and up to ₹50 Lakhs or more for international studies. Interest rates range from 7.50% to 14.00% p.a. depending on the lender, loan type, and financial profile.
EduLoanHub's experts will match you with the best loan option from 15+ lenders — at no cost to you.

Education loan vs. self-funding — which is smarter?
Many Surat families choose to self-fund out of habit. An education loan often delivers significantly better financial outcomes:
| Feature | Education Loan | Self-Funding |
|---|---|---|
| Income tax benefit | Section 80E — unlimited interest deduction, up to 8 years | None |
| Repayment flexibility | Flexible EMIs after moratorium period | Full fees paid upfront |
| Proof of funds (visa & admission) | Sanction letter accepted — no liquid funds required | Must show liquid solvency to university & embassy |
| Impact on family savings | Savings preserved for emergencies & investments | Savings wiped out |
| Credit history building | On-time repayment builds strong CIBIL score | No credit history benefit |
| TCS on overseas remittance | Only 0.5% TCS | 5% TCS — 10× more expensive |

Calculate your exact EMI with our free EMI calculator →Common education loan terminology explained
Principal amount
The original sum borrowed from the lender, before interest is added. Your EMI gradually reduces this over the repayment period.
Interest rate
The annual percentage charged on the outstanding principal. Can be fixed (constant) or floating (linked to RBI repo rate).
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment)
A fixed monthly payment comprising both principal repayment and interest. EMI begins after the moratorium period ends.
Moratorium period
A grace period — typically course duration plus 6 months — during which no EMI is required. Simple interest may accrue during this time.
Section 80E tax deduction
Allows full deduction of interest paid on education loans for up to 8 consecutive years under the Income Tax Act — with no upper limit.
Collateral (secured loan)
An asset pledged as security — property, FD, or insurance. Secured loans typically offer lower interest rates and higher loan amounts.
