Repaying the Loan

If you are sanctioned an education loan by the Union Bank of India, you need to repay it back in a maximum of 15 years, including the course and moratorium periods. This repayment time is mandatory no matter the amount of loan taken. If the interest increases during the moratorium period and is not serviced, it will be added to the principal amount when calculating the EMI for repayment. This ensures that interest doesn't become an additional burden for the borrower, and they can repay the loan timely.

Note: A timely repayment of loans will not only help borrowers avoid the burden of interest but also helps them get easier loans in the future.
