Best Loan Apps For Students In India

Students generally have a lot of expenses they have to meet. This can be hard to do, especially when they have no real sources of income. Students need to pay ever-increasing tuition fees for higher education programmes, figure out their living expenses and accommodation that include food, transport, etc. and purchase textbooks, equipment and supplies they need for their courses.

Even with parental support, all the expenses add up and could be too much to handle. Beyond applying for financial assistance at their college or university, students also have the option of getting an education loan. Such loans allow students to pay off their debt while generally having larger moratorium periods and lower and flexible interest rates.

This makes it easier for the students to repay the loan once their education is complete and they have a job. Nowadays, the availability of several loan apps in India makes it easier for students to apply for a loan. These apps require less documentation and cut the need to go to bank branches. Here are some of the best loan apps for students in India.

IIFL Loans

This app from IIFL Finance, one of India’s largest non-banking finance companies, provides gold, personal or business loans starting from as low as Rs 5,000. IIFL Finance personal loans are affordable, have low interest rates, and the application can be processed in less than five minutes with a hassle-free documentation process. The EMIs on personal loans are flexible, allowing easier repayment to students who can download the app and easily apply for a loan.

SlicePay

A 3% monthly interest fee is charged, and funds are transferred quickly through the Unified Payments Interface or bank account.

PaySense

PaySense is another app that offers student and education loans of Rs 5,000-5,00,000. To be eligible for an education loan, the student must have admission at a reputable institute abroad or in India. They must be between the ages of 18 and 35 and must be a resident of India.

Conclusion

Loan apps can be used if the student needs urgent form of credit. Since a student requires a lot of assistance with respect to finances, they could use such apps from time to time.

Students should check the website of the Reserve Bank of India for a list of companies that are regulated by it and approved for services such as offering loans in the country. This list is also updated regularly, so they must ensure that even the entities listed above are part of the RBI list.

A personal loan is an ideal alternative for borrowers who don’t want student loans. Compared to a normal student loan, a personal loan is simpler to apply for and gives more flexibility in terms of usage and repayment.
