What determines the interest rate on an education loan?
The interest rate on an education loan is determined by various factors, including the applicant's creditworthiness, co-applicant's financial profile, loan amount, loan tenure, type of interest rate (fixed or floating), and the lender's internal policies. Students with a strong credit history and co-applicants with stable financial backgrounds are more likely to secure a lower interest rate.
How can one avail tax benefits on education loans?
In India, under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act, individuals can avail tax benefits on the interest paid on education loans. The entire interest amount paid during the financial year is eligible for deduction without any upper limit. However, the principal amount repayment does not qualify for tax benefits.
