Student Loan Refinancing – The Prudent Choice
Your education loan should support your ambitions, not limit your financial flexibility.
With Avanse Balance Transfer, you can transfer your existing education loan from another lender and access financing solutions designed around your evolving goals.
Whether you are currently studying abroad, have recently graduated, or are already repaying your loan, Avanse helps you optimise your repayment journey with attractive interest rates, flexible structures, and additional funding opportunities.
Who Should Opt for an Education Loan Balance Transfer?
Many people today do not know their options to refinance student loans. You can benefit from refinancing your loan if:
- You have recently taken a loan to pursue your higher education in India or abroad
- You are a working professional who is still repaying an educational loan
Avanse Balance Transfer is designed for:
- Students currently pursuing overseas education
- Graduated students who have full-time employment
If you’d like to go ahead with your loan refinancing, your co-borrower needs to meet the following education loan criteria:
- The co-borrower should be an Indian national or Indian passport-holder or an NRI who is currently working in India and holds an OCI card.
- The individual must have a steady income and could either be a parent, sibling or brother-in-law.
- Your co-borrower could be a parent, sibling, uncle, grandparent or any family member.
If you meet the above criteria, you can go ahead and use the education loan calculator to understand your education loan eligibility in India. Your student loan eligibility in India depends on your monthly earnings and outgoings as well as your loan interest and tenure.
