Credila has a student friendly education loan application process:

Whichever institute and course the student pursues, remains with him/her for the rest of the life. Higher Education takes place only once in everyone’s life. Every student has a wish list. Every student has aspiration to join a certain institute and course. However, many students just drop the idea of pursuing the course in a certain country or in a certain institute due to the uncertainty about available funds to pay for that higher education. Credila enables students to pursue their dreams by making the funds available to them even before they start applying to the Universities. When students know how much of funds are available to them even before they start applying to various institutes, students don’t have to downsize their dreams!

That’s actually the main feature of Credila’s benefits offered to students. Credila offers. Sanction letters even before your admission is confirmed. It will help you in getting favourable reply while applying for I20s as some Universities prefer solvency along with the application form. Secondly, you will know your eligibility right away so that you can plan your finances accordingly.

To get admission to the US Universities & to get I-20 for US visa, "Availability of Liquid Funds" to complete the course needs to be demonstrated. Credila’s "Education Loan Sanction Letter" before admission can help you show the availability of liquid funds.

No. Credila is one of the very few lenders who will finance 100% of the cost of education. So, you don’t have to pay any part fees. If sanctioned, you won’t even need any margin money.
Credila Education Loan depends on multiple factors such as:
Sir, we generally require family members as co-borrowers. It again depends on your overall profile and the study course you are interested in. We have different product propositions for different study courses, May I get the course details and connect you to our RM for clarity?
Yes Sir. Work Experience and profile are key indicators in loan assessment procedure but these are not the only criteria for sanctioning as there are numerous other parameters involved. May I get your details for quick assessment please?
Credila has funded students who have been pursuing higher education in over 35 countries. Credila’s approval letter has been accepted by all countries. Thousands of students have already availed education loans from Credila and are pursuing their successful careers abroad. In case you still have apprehensions, we have pre-VISA disbursal facility also wherein sanctioned amount can be credited into your account in form of an FD prior to your VISA interviews. I can connect you to respective RM for detailed brief?
No. We don’t distinguish between students. Both boy and girls get the special offerings from Credila.
Yes. This is the best case scenario offered after taking impending Tax Benefits under 80E into consideration.
As per Section 80E of the Income Tax Act, 1961 only an individual can claim deduction under section 80E on the Interest paid on the loan taken for Study after Senior Secondary or its equivalent from a Bank, Financial Institution or an Approved Charitable Institution. Interest must be actually paid for claiming deduction.

Deduction is allowed in the year when individual starts paying the interest and in subsequent 7 years or until interest is paid in full whichever is earlier. However, Interest should be paid out of Income Chargeable to Tax.
Illustration:

Mr. Ram has taken a loan for MBA of Rs.1,00,000 from a Bank for his son. Interest paid on loan is 10%. What is amount of deduction?

Answer: Deduction will be available to Mr. Ram under section 80E. Amount Rs. 10,000/-
Doing so might be beneficial for both students and parents. When you make the interest payment on the loan during the study period, there is a likelihood of the repayment being eased out subsequently. This also helps financial discipline in students.
Friends can’t come as co-borrower because of the risk involved and underlying company policy in this regard. We accept only family members as coborrowers.
No. The interest subsidy scheme is applicable to the banks only. Students whose parents have low income can only avail the interest subsidy. However, Credila is not covered under interest subsidy scheme.
Collateral is required to mitigate the risk involved in the credit. Since the student hasn’t started to earn yet, we are not sure of his future income and profile, hence the collateral. In case you have any loan with HDFC Limited, it’s an extremely simple process and can be fulfilled by our dedicated Relationship Managers It’s in the interest of the students and parents to provide the required collateral as that enables the students to get better interest rates on education loan.
Yes. There is an option available for upfront interest also depending upon the course and underlying demographics of the student.
As a part of education loan processing and credit review, there are various reports, CIBIL records, collateral related legal charges and stamp duties etc. involved in it. Credila doesn’t charge students for every expenses separately. Instead there is a onetime Origination Fees which get charged so that students don’t have to pay legal fee or stamp duty etc. separately. Other entities charge legal fees, collateral valuation fee, stamp duty and other expenses separately. However,Credila includes all of these charges as a part of Origination Fees it charges.
Risk assessment consists of multiple financial and demographic variables. Every customer has a different profile and needs to be fulfilled accordingly. We try our level best to offer the best possible product to match customer requirements and profile.
The loan application will be processed two phases: The in-principal sanction letter would be given in about 7 to 10 days from the date of receipt of completed Application Form along with the supporting documents from the customer.

Similarly, the disbursement would be completed within 7 days from the date of receipt of all post sanction documents from & completion of the underlying post sanction process by the customer.
No. You can apply for education loan before getting admission confirmation from University / College. If your case is approved, you’ll get a conditional loan sanction letter.

Processing Fee: You don’t have to pay any charges while applying. We can process your file. You can take a decision at a later stage.
