Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Is this playbook official? Can I trust the numbers?

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.

Who is this for?

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.

Does it cover the PM-Vidyalaxmi scheme?

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.

Does it help if I'm studying abroad?

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.

How do I download the guide after payment?

After successful payment on Razorpay, you'll be automatically redirected to a thank-you page with a download button. Click it to get your PDF instantly — it's yours forever.

Can I get a refund?

Digital products are non-refundable because they're instantly downloadable. But if you receive a defective or corrupted file, or were charged incorrectly, we'll replace or resolve it — just email lonefaisal977@gmail.com within 7 days.
