Tips to repay an Education Loan

• Plan a monthly budget and stick to it. Conduct an assessment of your spending habits

• Apart from paying the Education Loan through regular EMIs, you can pay in lump sum i.e., foreclose the Education Loan whenever possible in order to reduce the principal amount faster. This will help minimise the duration of the loan and the interest accrued

• A part-time job is one of the best ways to repay the Education Loan and keep yourself out of debt

• Bad money management can prevent you from paying off your loans quickly. By planning and understanding your monthly cash flow, you can make the necessary changes to your budget

• If you struggle to repay the loan due to the high-interest rate opt for an ICICI Bank Balance Transfer facility. This will lower the monthly EMIs and help in making the repayment a tad bit easier.
