Education loan sanction letter

A sanction letter is defined as an official statement provided by the loan lending bank to an applicant which specifies rudimentary data like course details, the amount of loan sanctioned for education, borrower’s name, lender’s details,  guarantor’s details, rate of interest, margin percentage, repayment period, security offered if any and other terms and conditions of the bank. Therefore a sanction letter for education loan acts as a proof of confirmation of the loan being granted by the bank. 

In-principle sanction letter

An in-principle sanction letter is a tentative sanction letter consigned by the bank to the borrower. It states a particular loan amount that will be sanctioned to a student if he/she is able to secure an admission in a particular university. This letter can be a proof to signify financial support during the admission process, and also during the visa process for selected countries. 

How to get an in-principle sanction letter? 

Students may need an in-principle sanction letter in order to secure admission to the university and to show proof of funds. Students can apply for an in-principle sanction letter soon after they find themselves eligible for an education loan. Followed by that, right after the admission confirmation from the university, they can move ahead in the loan process and get the final education loan sanction letter issued.

In a few cases, bank officials may create issues related to pre-visa disbursement, may only disburse the amount once they receive the study permit and the visa etc. Therefore, it is advised to apply through Vidyalaons as our processing officer shares a professional affinity with the banks and can resolve your issues with the concerned bank officials. 

Education loan Sanction process in Government banks

The education loan sanction process in Government banks is slightly protracted as compared to NBFCs or private banks and can take up to 1 to 2 months to process your loan. Hence, we  suggest you to apply for an education loan through Vidyalaons, as our processing officers will guide you through the entire loan process and will reduce the education loan sanction time to only 12-15 days.  

The process to receive the sanction letter for education loan are mainly followed by three steps: 

1. In Government banks like the State bank of India (SBI), Bank of Baroda (BOB), etc, you have to first fill up the application form with all the required details

2. Secondly, the applicant has to submit all the required documents to the bank. You can also check the documents required to take an education loan here.

3. Once you are done submitting all the required documents and the bank has checked and accepted the same, they will release your sanction letter.
