RBL Bank Education Loan EMI Calculator
Pick one of the 1 RBL Bank education loan scheme we read from the bank's own website, or type the rate you are offered. Add the course length and grace period to see the interest that builds up before EMIs start.
Official Rate Formula & Benchmark:
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1), where P is what you owe when the moratorium ends and r is the monthly rate.
Current official starting rate: 10.00% p.a. (Range: 10.00% – 10.00% p.a.). Read from RBL Bank's own website; your rate depends on your profile.
Borrowing ₹10,00,000 at 10% with a moratorium of 3 years, ₹3,00,000 of interest is added to the loan before EMIs start. You then owe ₹13,00,000, an EMI of ₹17,180 for 10 years, and ₹10,61,517 in total interest.
Picking a lender fills in its lowest published figure for that scheme. Your rate depends on your profile, course or vehicle, and can be higher. Compare all education loan rates

| Year 13 | ₹10,738 | Outside limit |
Years are 12-month periods from the first disbursement, not financial years. Interest added to the loan during the moratorium is repaid inside the principal part of later EMIs; this estimate counts only interest you pay as interest, which is what your lender’s interest certificate shows. The saving also needs enough taxable income to absorb the deduction. ₹40,000 of interest falls after the 8-year window.

- 1Choose a RBL Bank scheme: its rate, processing fee, effective date and source fill in.
- 2Enter the course length and the grace period after it; together they make the moratorium.
- 3RBL Bank's pages we checked do not say how moratorium interest is worked out, so simple interest is an assumption; the compounded figure is shown alongside.
- 4The EMI is worked out on what you owe when repayment starts, and interest paid is estimated year by year for Section 80E (old tax regime).
Key Factors Influencing Your Rate
- •Your institution, course, co-borrower's income and credit score decide where in the range you land.
PM-Vidyalaxmi: interest subvention
- 3% interest subvention during the moratorium on loans up to ₹10,00,000, for students with annual family income up to ₹8,00,000 who get no other government scholarship or subvention. It goes to one lakh students a year, and from the second year it depends on satisfactory academic performance.
- Collateral-free and guarantor-free loans for admission to qualifying institutions (top 100 in NIRF rankings, state government institutions ranked 101-200, and central government institutions) through merit-based admission.
- A 75% credit guarantee for loans up to ₹7,50,000.
- Rates are capped at the bank’s external benchmark lending rate (EBLR) + 0.5%. Repayment up to 15 years after the moratorium (course period + 1 year).
- Under the related CSIS scheme, students with family income up to ₹4,50,000 on technical or professional courses get full interest subvention during the moratorium on loans up to ₹10,00,000.
The calculator does not deduct the subvention, because the official pages do not say how it is worked out. Apply and check eligibility on the official PM-Vidyalaxmi portal. Figures from PIB: Cabinet release, 6 Nov 2024, Lok Sabha reply, 27 Jul 2026 and press note, 29 Jul 2026; checked 21 Oct 2026.
Section 80E: what we confirmed
- The deduction is the interest paid on a loan for higher education of yourself or a relative, with no rupee limit. Principal repayment does not count.
- Available only under the old tax regime. It is not in the income tax portal’s new regime list.
- The loan must come from a financial institution or an approved charitable institution.
- Individuals only; HUFs cannot claim it.
- The 8-year limit is in the Act itself. We could not open the Act text on an official site, so it is shown as unverified and you can switch it off above.
The Income-tax Act, 1961 was repealed on 1 April 2026 and replaced by the Income-tax Act, 2025; the AY 2026-27 return pages still use the 80E name. Sources: income tax portal, deductions for AY 2026-27, ITR-4 instructions, ITR-2 instructions and new Act FAQ; checked 21 Oct 2026.
Worked Numerical Example: RBL Bank Education Loan EMI Calculator
For a ₹10,00,000 loan at the starting rate of 10% a year, with a 24-month course and a 12-month grace period, simple interest of ₹3,00,000 builds up before repayment starts, so ₹13,00,000 is repaid over 10 years (120 months). The EMI is ₹17,180, with total interest of ₹10,61,517. If you pay the interest while you study, the EMI is lower; the calculator above shows each option.
