Overview of Axis Bank abroad education loan

Before we dig deep into the disbursement process, let us recall the Axis Bank abroad education loan features in a brief. 

Axis Bank education loan disbursement process for abroad studies

This is the stage once your abroad education loan has been sanctioned. Loan sanction means the lender has approved the requested loan amount, but it doesn't mean that funds have been released. Loan disbursement, on the other hand, is the actual transfer of funds to the borrower. It's important to understand that these both are different stages of the loan process. After the loan is sanctioned, the loan agreement is signed by the applicant and the co-applicant. Document submission becomes a piece of cake if the loan is applied via GyanDhan as we provide a customized document checklist and doorstep pick-up service. Subsequently, a loan account is opened in the name of the applicant and the co-applicant.

Considering you get loan disbursed in portions as per requirements (which is also advised as it helps minimize borrowing and reduce interest payments) there are different crieteria and documents that you must keep in mind.

First disbursement of Axis Bank abroad education loan

This is the scenario in which you need to follow some steps and thus get an initial disbursement of the loan amount. The steps which you need to follow are - 

• You have to mail your college/university to get a demand letter. Once you have received that demand letter you need to submit the same to the bank.
• There will be a loan agreement that will be provided to you so that you as an applicant and your co-applicant can sign it. Once they are signed you will also be required to submit it to the bank.
• You would need to inform GyanDhan 5 - 7 days prior to your decided disbursement requirement date so that we can get the process started and get your amount disbursed on time. 
• You will also need to write a disbursement application to the bank which will be attached with a disbursement request form. A disbursement request form is an official bank document that enables you to formally request disbursement.
• Need to make the payment in regard to the margin money as decided in your loan agreement. This can be done in two ways, either you can make the payment and submit a bank statement that shows the transaction or you can send the margin money to Axis Bank directly.
• Form A2 is signed by the applicant and the co-applicant. Form A2 is an application plus declaration for the permission of foreign exchange, which is a Forex transaction. Now this is generally used when the bank is transferring the money directly to the university/college. Apart from it, the different ways in which you can pay the tuition fees are - 
  • Flywire - it acts as a facilitator between your bank and the college and comes under the peer-to-peer transfer method.
  • Self-Payment - every so often students pay the fees directly to the university. In such a scenario, you can get the fees reimbursed from the bank by showing the fee structure and relevant fee submission proofs.
  • Demand Draft (DD) - this is another method to pay tuition fees but it is more suitable when applying to domestic institutes. The reason is that DD is a physical document and might get lost in transit. This method is therefore not advisable for international payments.

Subsequent disbursement of Axis Bank abroad education loan

Once you have taken your initial disbursement then you can take subsequent disbursements from Axis Bank as per future requirements. The process to take subsequent disbursement is simpler as compared to the initial disbursement as there are a few steps that you have to do only once. The different steps that you would have to do in order to take a subsequent disbursement are - 

• You will need a demand letter from the university/college of the subsequent amount due at your institute. 
• You would need to fill in the disbursement request form and pay up the margin money as mentioned in the loan agreement. 
• In this subsequent disbursement, you will have to collect and grab the exam progress report or marksheet.
• Form A2 is signed by the applicant or co-applicants so that the payment can be disbursed to the university directly.
