Here are the prerequisites to apply for Avanse Student Loans for Study Abroad.⁴
Avanse Study Abroad Loan requires a co-borrower in India who is able to demonstrate their proof of income. Parents, siblings, or relatives of the student can qualify as co-borrowers. The co-borrower must have a Savings Bank Account in India with a chequebook facility.
Avanse offers education loans with or without collateral, depending on the student’s academic record and the co-borrowers credit profile. Other factors determining if collateral is required include the course profile, the university’s reputation, and job prospects after completing the course.
Providing collateral can help a borrower get a lower interest rate or a larger loan.⁴
The maximum loan amount available without collateral is INR 75 lakhs.
Avanse loans have a processing fee ranging from 1% to 2% of the loan amount that must be paid before receiving the loan sanction letter.⁴
Avanse offers a moratorium, or a holiday period during which no repayments are required, for or study period plus additional 6 months or 3 months after you start working — whichever is earlier.⁴
However, you can start making payments during the moratorium itself with flexible repayment options based on your needs.
Avance offers a loan tenure of up to 15 years on education loans.
