Graduating is exciting, but education loan repayment can feel overwhelming. With the right strategy, you can manage your EMIs without sacrificing your financial goals.

Repayment Strategies

• Start paying interest during the moratorium period to reduce principal burden
• Claim tax deduction under Section 80E for interest paid on education loans
• Set up auto-debit to avoid missing EMI payments
• Choose a longer tenure initially and prepay when your income increases
• Consider loan consolidation if you have multiple education loans

Section 80E Benefit

Under Section 80E, the interest paid on education loans is fully tax-deductible for up to 8 years. There is no upper limit on the deduction amount.
