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.

    I had taken educational loan in Canara bank
    cantonment branch Bangalore for my son MadanKumar.T in 2007
    Subsequently after moratorium period we
    started paying emi to the bank.

    After Chidambaram’s budget speech 2014 Feb.,
    CSIS WAIVER SCHEME was introduced.
    we submitted necessary documents required to the
    bank by April 2014. Even though Canara bank
    is the Nodal bank in this scheme, They did not take
    any action in this regard in spite of our repeated
    follow up.

    Please help us how to continue further.
    I do not know why the bank is sleeping.
    Government willing to help students but
    banks are not allowing to happen.
    There is one saying “Even God is ready to
    give boon, Poojary will stop that”.

    Thanks,
    TvswamyVenkat

  34. Amit Kumar Sharma says:

    Hi,
    My education loan was sanctioned on 25/June/2009 and i borrowed an amount of 1.6 lk from PNB bank. My Graduation course was completed in 2012. After that i did my post graduation, for this i asked the PNB bank officials to extend the recovery of loan in 2012, fortunately, they agreed upon this and they extend it upto august 2014.
    In order to take the advantage of CSIS scheme, I visited the Bank today and they said that CSIS scheme is only applicable to those borrowers whose loan was sanctioned before 31/march/2009. But on IBA website i found a circular which says that CSIS scheme is applicable to the borrower whose loan sanctioned date is 01/April/2009 or after. I argued with Bank officials but they didn’t listen to me, i also showed them the hard copy of circular but they said that we will follow the circular they have in which the sanctioned date is mentioned as 31/march/2009 or before.

    I don’t know what to do, Am i eligible under interest subsidy scheme, till date I haven’t payed any EMI. Please give your suggestions.

    i,

    I did my B.TECH in 2008-2012 batch,my education loan[Rs.252000.00 & Rs. 63,000.00 /year] sanctioned in 2009 January from BANK OF BARODA .We paid the interest till 2010. Once after receiving the information regarding interest subsidy we stopped paying interest.
    But in our bank they put penalty for the unpaid amount and repeatedly they are applying interest.

    Till now i just received subsidiary of Rs.5000.00 [one time only]

    While asking educational loan officers at our bank,they are not answering properly and blindly asking us to repay the loan.

    We paid nearly 1.5 lakh still we have pending of 2 lakhs.
