Biginius Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. assists clients in identifying suitable loan options and understanding the terms and conditions associated with each loan. b) Repayment Schedule: The repayment schedule outlines the timing and amount of each installment payment due for the educational loan. This schedule is provided by the lender and will be communicated to the client during the loan application process.

6.2. Loan Repayment Terms: a) Grace Period: Many educational loans offer a grace period, during which borrowers are not required to make payments. This period typically begins after the borrower graduates leaves school, or drops below half-time enrollment. The length of the grace period varies depending on the loan program and lender. b) Repayment Period: The repayment period is the timeframe during which borrowers are required to repay the loan. This period typically begins after the grace period ends and may last for several years, depending on the loan amount and terms. c) Interest Rate: The interest rate is the annual percentage charged by the lender for borrowing the loan amount. The interest rate may be fixed or variable and will impact the total amount repaid over the life of the loan. d) Loan Servicer: The loan servicer is the entity responsible for managing the loan account, processing payments, and providing customer service to borrowers. Borrowers will receive information from their loan servicer regarding repayment options, payment due dates, and account statements.

6.3. Repayment Options: a) Standard Repayment: Under the standard repayment plan, borrowers make fixed monthly payments over a set period, typically 10 years. This plan offers the fastest repayment timeline and may result in lower total interest costs compared to other repayment options. b) Graduated Repayment: The graduated repayment plan allows borrowers to start with lower monthly payments that gradually increase over time. This option may be beneficial for borrowers who expect their income to increase steadily over the repayment period. c)  Income-Driven Repayment: Income-driven repayment plans base the monthly payment amount on the borrower’s income and family size.

Payments are typically due on a monthly basis, although borrowers should check with their loan servicer for specific due dates. b) Automatic Payments: Many lenders offer the option to set up automatic payments, which deduct the monthly loan payment from the borrower’s bank account on the designated due date. Automatic payments can help borrowers avoid late payments and may qualify for interest rate discounts. c) Loan Consolidation: Borrowers with multiple student loans may choose to consolidate their loans into a single loan with one monthly payment. Loan consolidation can simplify repayment and may lower the monthly payment amount by extending the repayment period.

6.5. Loan Forgiveness and Discharge: a) Public Service Loan Forgiveness: Borrowers who work in qualifying public service positions may be eligible for loan forgiveness after making 120 qualifying payments under an income-driven repayment plan. b) Teacher Loan Forgiveness: Teachers who work in low-income schools or educational service agencies may be eligible for loan forgiveness after five consecutive years of teaching. c) Total and Permanent Disability Discharge: Borrowers who become totally and permanently disabled may be eligible for loan discharge, relieving them of their obligation to repay the loan.
