Everything you need to know before buying
It is an independent guide, not a government publication. Every figure is taken from official sources — the Ministry of Education's PM-Vidyalaxmi and CSIS guidelines, Press Information Bureau releases, the PM-Vidyalaxmi and Vidya Lakshmi portals, NCGTC, the IBA Model Education Loan Scheme, bank rate cards and the Income-tax Act, 2025 — and the guide tells you exactly where to re-check anything that can change.
Students and parents funding a degree in India or abroad, freshers taking their first education loan, and anyone who has already taken one and wants to claim the interest subvention or the Section 129 tax deduction. It covers both the student's side and the co-applicant's side.
Yes — it is the core of the guide. It decodes the collateral-free, guarantor-free loan, the QHEI institution rule, the 75% credit guarantee, the 3% interest subvention for families earning up to ₹8 lakh, and the CSIS full-interest waiver, then walks the portal screen by screen.
Yes. A full part covers what changes for a foreign degree — the ₹20 lakh IBA limit, collateral above ₹7.5 lakh, the 15% margin, the PSU-versus-NBFC choice and the documents that make an abroad loan work.
