Is it possible to secure additional interest concessions?
Yes, a 1% interest concession is offered throughout the loan tenure if the interest amount is repaid during the course and moratorium period.
Will the SBI education loan cover on-campus accommodation expenses?
Yes, the education loan from the State Bank of India covers fees for on-campus accommodation provided by the school, college authorities, or in a hostel facilitated by the educational institution.
If a student is not able to complete the course within its time duration, will an extension of time be permitted for its completion?
Yes, if, for any reason beyond the control of the student, the course cannot be completed within its scheduled time duration, then the time required to complete it can be extended for up to two years. However, anything beyond the two years will require special sanction from the bank authorities and will be given according to their discretion.

An interest rate reduction of 0.50% is applicable for students purchasing the SBI Rinn Raksha or other life insurance policies through the bank. This concession is accessible to applicants of both the SBI Student Loan Scheme and the SBI Global Ed-Vantage Scheme.
