What is Origination Fees(OF) and why it is required?
+ -The Origination Fee ensures that a borrower does not need to pay any additional charges when they apply for an education loan with Credila. It includes the costs associated with loan processing, collected at the time of loan sanction.
What is the maximum loan amount that Credila can provide?
+ -Credila is pleased to offer up to 100% finance, covering both your tuition fee and ancillary expenses, including travel fare, study material such as books and laptops essential to your study programme. What’s more, Credila also extends unsecured loans (a loan without collateral requirement) up to ? 75 lakh.
Why is the e-mandate amount higher than my actual monthly installment(MI)? When does Credila deduct the amount?
+ -The e-mandate amount is 1.5 times higher than your actual MI to facilitate the borrower. For instance, consider a scenario wherein the borrower may request changes to their MI – to avoid requesting for a fresh mandate at each instance, a mandate with a higher amount typically covers all eventualities.
Why do we need to pay the interest on the education loan during the study period?
+ -Paying even a nominal amount by way of servicing loan interest helps the student to instil financial discipline at an early age. This can be advantageous by helping to boost your credit score, thereby offering the opportunity to build a secure financial future.
What are the loan repayment options available for Credila?
+ -Credila offers loan repayment in easy monthly instalments up to 15 years. Typically, the tenure of an education loan consists of the duration of study (or course duration) + grace period post course completion + the subsequent repayment period.
Is Credila the same as HDFC Credila for education loans abroad?
+ -Credila Financial Services Limited was formerly known as HDFC Credila Financial Services Limited. The Company provides education loans for Indian students planning to pursue their education both in India and abroad.
