Govt.  may provide Interest subsidy on education loan to student from weaker section for moratorium period

Ministry of Human Resource Development has proposed to introduce a scheme for full interest subsidy during the period of moratorium on loans taken by students belonging to economically weaker sections from the banks under the Education Loan Scheme of the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) for pursuing any of the approved courses of studies in technical and professional streams from recognised institutions in India.
The scheme will be circulated to banks for implementation after the modalities of the schemes are finalized by the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

This information was given by Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena in written reply to a question raised in Rajya Sabha today.

    Why there is partiality in giving subsidy (interest) in education loan only to Indian Universities. Education loan is common.So make eligible to foreign studies also.

    I have taken loan from SBI for my mba batch of 2009 – 11. Due to my weaker financial condition i was not able to pay the monthly interest.

    i have take 4 lac education loan from SBI bank,for the period of 2008-10 of my AICTE APPROVED COURSE, PLEASE TELL ME THAT I WILL COME UNDER THIS CATEGORY,

  34. Siraj Dudekula says:

    I approached for SBI educational loan with my fathers income backup and also a property as a secondary security.My parents annual income from all resources is less than 4.50 lacs and I pass the criteria for eligibility but the branch manager rejected this provision of interest subsidy for no reason.

    Even i want to raise a point SBI is not jus a member but one of the Managing Committee members of INDIAN BANKS ASOCIATION, MUMBAI which noticed every bank for this to be implemented after this is finalized by Ministry of HRD,Govt. of India.

    Adding, the present chairman of SBI Mr. O.P.Bhatt is himself the chairman of the IBA.

    As a borrower of loan and a customer who am urging for a loan how can I proceed in moving this to higher authorities?Where is the practical implementation of this provision is my voice?
