SBI Loan Interest subsidy claim

Took a loan for your son/daughters higher education in 2009-10 from SBI? Now you can claim Interest subsidy from your loan branch if your total household income is less than Rs.4.5 lakhs per annum. This is a part of Union Government’s HR Department to lend education loans for lesser interest rate.

To claim your interest subsidy, you’ve to obtain an income certificate from Tahasildar or appropriate authority and approach your loan branch with loan documents. Note that this only applies to loan taken for children’s higher education in technical or professional courses only.

Claims that are received before 15 March 2011 will get preference in processing (faster approval of interest subsidy).

    • Sorry, I won’t be of much help to you here.
      The loan repayment term is 7 years provided you paid your installments after your first course, only for which you were granted a loan. It looks like you delayed the payment so the bank might have cut-short the repayment time.
      Have a talk with the bank itself or see if any of your friends or family can help you.

  17. I have took Education Loan from SBI during 2008-09. As per the terms and conditions of the Govt. Education Loan Subsidy, I am eligible for loan subsidy for the amount disbursed thro ‘ Education Loan from the year 2009-10. Accordingly I received letter from SBI office to submit necessary Income Certificate to claim interest subsidy. Accordingly I have submitted everything required. At the time of receiving this loan i.e.in 2008-09, I have given my SBI Saving a/c no. so that the monthly interest will be deducted from that a/c. The same was done by the bank also. After the subsidy scheme also every month the interest amount was deducted from my a/c. I have made in inquired about this in the local SBI branch. They have informed, that till date only an amount of Rs.8537/- has been received from Govt. as subsidy towards my interest education loan and the same has been deducted from the outstanding Education Loan Principal amount. However, I have to pay the necessary interest every month against the outstanding education loan amount. In this case I can not understand the SBI view on this. I request you to help me whether the SBI’s above view is correct or not.

    • It appears to be valid for me. It’s just a subsidy but not complete waiver, hence you’ll still be required to pay interest. Since some subsidy has come from the Government, that has been deducted from your outstanding loan amount.
      You can confirm this by seeing the amount being deducted from your savings account as interest. After claiming the subsidy, the amount being deducted from savings a/c must have been (some what) less than before, is that so?

  18. I got loan on may 2009 so what is the process to apply loan subsidy and when i can do this please inform me………..

    • Mr. Masood. I have also asked this question from the Disbursement Manager of my nearest SBI branch. He said me that after the completion of 1 year from the sanctioned of your loan, then after getting aforementioned income certificate, contact me.
      So, you are being requested to contact your branch after 1 year with all necessary documents. They will give you the details.
      All the best.
