- For others, proper, meticulous planning is the
only solution. "As part of your repayment
strategy, prepayment of the loan should be the
top priority. But, at the same time, the student
should get into a compulsory savings mode in any
secured savings instrument so that she
accumulates a corpus every year to settle the
loan faster,"Assuming the loan is for 7 years
and interest rate is 12 p.a., the EMI on the
education loan would be around Rs 17,650. "If the
individual earns a take home salary of Rs 50,000,
the balance Rs 32,350 can be used for buying a
term cover and investments," - "The premium for term insurance with a risk
cover of RS 1 corer is likely to be Rs 17,000.
After accounting for annual expenses of Rs

- From the year I took a loan to date, the interest
rate has gone up by 75 basis points, increasing
my EMI burden, That is why her top priority is
to clear the dues. Education Loan Interest
Calculator rates from banks/institutions are
currently in the region of 12-14 p.a. - However, the interest paid on an education loan
is eligible for deduction u/s 80E of the Income
Tax Act. "In case of pre-payment, this
benef ..would get reduced. Therefore, students
will have to calculate the trade-off between the
net effect of continuing to pay interest on
education loan less the benefits received u/s
80E, vis-a-vis investing their money in other
investments," - This trade-off could determine whether or not to
prepay the education loan. But if you are paying
anything more than 50 of the take home salary
towards the loan, you have to reduce the burden
at the earliest possible opportunity. You can
partly prepay the loan from your bonus or
variable pay linked to your performance.
5Here are a few steps that can take you towards
financial stability, even in a tough phase
Don't wait for the right job These are not the
best years for working professionals. Students
are struggling to find "suitable" jobs and
working professionals are facing the problem of
shrinking salaries. Undoubtedly, for students,
the initial job would to a great extent lay the
foundation of a career. "However, having a job is
better than not having one, especially when there
is a loan to repay. If the student is good
enough, s/he can always search for a suitable
job.
6Loan repayment not the only priority
- You have to invest some money for lifestyle
expenses and future goals. "Singles have the
liberty to live on a shoestring budget. Once
commitments and the size of the family increase,
there is always the pressure to take a housing
loan, car loan, retirement planning, etc. Hence
make sure you save and invest at least 20 of
your salary for future goals. - Also, you should build a corpus to partly prepay
the loan, especially if you have taken a
long-tenure loan, say for 5 or 7 years. - Source http//economictimes.indiatimes.com/perso
