About you
Indian's published education loan rates are the same whatever your credit score, income, gender or employer, so there's nothing to ask. Where you land inside a scheme's range is up to the bank.
At 7.30%, you repay ₹12.8 lakh: ₹10 lakh borrowed and ₹2.8 lakh interest.
From the first year, most of each EMI repays the loan.
Every 0.25% off the rate saves about ₹123 a month. Worth asking for.

The rates Indian's loans are linked to
A floating loan's rate is one of these plus a spread fixed when you borrow. When it moves, your EMI or your term moves at the next reset.
MCLR by reset period · from 3 Nov 2026
| Reset period | Compared | MCLR |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight | 8.00% | |
| 1 month | 8.30% | |
| 3 months | 8.60% | |
| 6 months | 8.85% | |
| 1 year | 8.95% |
A loan on MCLR resets at the end of its period, most often one year, to the MCLR then plus its spread. If yours is still on MCLR, you can ask to move it to the repo-linked rate.
| Older benchmark | Rate | Effective from |
|---|---|---|
| Base rate | 9.55% | 3 Oct 2026 |
| Benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) | 13.80% | 3 Oct 2026 |
Loans taken before April 2016 may still be linked to these.

How we collect loan rates
From the bank's own pages. Every figure is read from the lending-rate page the bank publishes, and links back to it. Benchmarks are re-read every day.
A published rate is not an offer. Banks set your rate from your credit score, income, the loan amount and the property or vehicle. We show the range the bank publishes; "7.60% onwards" means the bank gave no top figure.
Benchmark plus spread. A floating loan's rate is the bank's benchmark (its repo-linked rate, or MCLR for older loans) plus a spread fixed when you borrow. When the benchmark moves, your rate moves with it at the next reset.
The EMI is worked out on a reducing balance with monthly instalments: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n − 1), where r is the yearly rate ÷ 12 and n the number of months. It leaves out processing charges and insurance.
No referral fees. We don't take loan applications or get paid by lenders, so the order is the order.
Independent. No referral fees. Official sources.
