Types of Overseas Education Loans

Kinds of Overseas Education Loans

Secured

Secured Loans are provided by Nationalised Banks, Private banks and NBFCs. The quantum of finance up to which the bank can sanction the loan amount is up to 1.50 Crores for Overseas Education.

A loan on secured credit promises

  • lower interest rates
  • flexible repayment terms and
  • a choice of different interest plans

A Secured Overseas Education Loan can be taken on the basis of assets like immovable property, LIC Policies, government bonds, shares etc.

However, secured education loans take longer than unsecured loans and only 75% of the amount will be sanctioned against the valuation of the property.

Unsecured

Unsecured Loan is a viable option for the students who are not willing to pledge any collateral security against the loan amount. This type of loan can be availed from nationalized banks, private banks, NBFCs and international lenders.

NBFCs and few private banks offer up to Rs 45 lakhs as a loan amount whereas nationalized banks provide unsecured loan up to Rs 7.5 lakhs. An unsecured loan is much quicker and convenient as it does not involve the procedure of legal verification and property valuation.

Credit Score

What is Credit / CIBIL Score?
Credit / CIBIL Score is a three-digit numeric summary of your credit history found in the CIBIL Report. CIBIL score will be in the range of 0 to 900. Banks check your CIBIL score before approving your loan.

Know what your score indicates

CIBIL Score between 0 or -1: If your score is 0 then it just means that you have no credit history created via a credit card or loans.

CIBIL Score between 300 – 600: This is a real poor credit score. It means you have been defaulting on payments and the chances of getting new loans/credit cards are minimal.
As such you should not miss your EMIs and should focus on payment of credit card dues well on time!

CIBIL Score between 600 - 750: You are on the right path. You will not face any problem while getting the loans or credit cards issued. Banks will be ready to offer you a line of credit for sure!

CIBIL Score between 750 - 900: This range indicates that you are regular with loan EMIs and credit payments with a really good payment history. Banks consider these people with high priority. You may get too many loan offers and at attractive rates of interest along with several Credit Card offerings!
