Frequently Asked Questions

When should I refinance or transfer my education loan?

Refinancing (or taking over) your education loan makes sense if:
1. You can secure a lower interest rate (at least 1% to 2% drop).
2. You have graduated, secured a stable job, and upgraded your credit score.
3. You want to transfer an expensive private NBFC loan (at 11%–13%) to a public bank (at 8.5%–9.5%) to release collateral.

Can multiple student loans be consolidated into one?

Yes! Consolidation combines 2 or more student loans into a single manageable monthly payment with a weighted lower interest rate, simplifying management and slashing monthly interest.

Are there any fees involved in refinancing an education loan?

Public banks in India charge a minimal processing fee (often 0.5% or waived during monsoon offers). Private lenders in the US typically offer $0 origination fees for refinancing high-credit graduates.

Will refinancing affect my Section 80E tax deduction?

Under Section 80E, as long as the refinancing/takeover loan is issued by a recognized scheduled bank or approved financial institution specifically for higher education repayment, the interest remains eligible for tax deduction.
