Pre-Visa Loan Disbursement
In some countries, loan disbursement must occur before the visa is issued. Lorien Finance helps you receive funds timely and assists in getting all the clearances ahead of time.
Flexibility For Co-Borrower
Compared to other education loans, the HDFC Credila Education Loan has fewer restrictions on who the co-borrower can be. For example, if your parent or a relative works abroad, they can be a co-borrower/guarantor. The co-borrower must have an NRI account, and, most significantly, the collateral must be in India. In both of these circumstances, you'll need an extra co-borrower.
Income Tax Benefits
HDFC Credila Education Loan makes you eligible to enjoy tax benefits under section 80-E of the Income Tax Act on the loan interest.
Loan Before Acceptance Letter
The HDFC Credila Education Loan has a unique feature of sanctioning loans even before the student receives their acceptance letter! Credila considers your GRE score to do so.
