Assets are the collateral security a bank needs to approve a loan. Choose the right security to avoid any future collateral damage to family finances while still qualifying for the most competitive offers.
Immovable property like a residential house, apartment, non-agricultural land, or commercial space.
Movable liquid assets such as fixed deposits, LIC policies with maturity value, and government bonds are also commonly accepted.
If the student or their family does not own assets, a friend or relative can offer their property or assets as collateral.

Longer tenure up to 15 years and pre-visa disbursement
Higher sanction amounts upto ₹1 crore for full-length bachelor’s programs
