Incred Education Loan Insurance

For Incred, the fees for student loan insurance range from 1% to 2% of the loan amount. We advise students to purchase education loan insurance so that the insurance company, not the borrower's parents or co-borrower, would be responsible for repaying the debt in the event of any unforeseen circumstance, including the applicant's death.

It makes sense to protect your dependents in this way. When completing your loan with WeMakeScholars, ask your financial officer for further details regarding loan insurance.

Pointer 1

Incred Education Loan Margin Calculation

Incred offers need-based education loans of value up to 100% requirement of the student, therefore it does not require students to arrange money to bear the loan margin. However, Incred requires students to show proof of funds for the remaining loan amount.

For example, your loan requirement is Rs 70 lacs but you are only eligible to get a loan of Rs 60 lacs from Incred, so in order to get the loan you need to show proof of funds for the rest of Rs 10 lacs

Request a callback from your financial officer, to know in detail about the concept of loan margin.

Students willing to repay their education loan before their repayment duration can opt for any of the following repayment strategies to repay their loan:

  • Transferring education loan to a different bank
  • Keeping repayment durations short
  • Making part-payment or prepayment

Pro Tip: Students should add Rs 5,000 - Rs 10,000 while making their last EMI payment, so that if the bank processes their transaction on the next day then also there is no outstanding balance on their loan.

We help students throughout their loan sanctioning process, by giving them helpful ins and outs about the education loan process. Get in touch with your financial officer at WeMakeScholars to know the best available interest rates for your education loan.
