✦ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really get a loan without my parents as co-signers?▼
Yes. Prodigy Finance assesses the student's future earning potential based on university employment data, completely eliminating the need for parents as co-signers or Indian property collateral.
Do I have to make payments while studying abroad with Prodigy Finance?▼
No. There are no monthly payments due during your study period and for 6 months after graduation.
Can I claim Indian income tax deduction under Section 80E?▼
No. Because Prodigy Finance is a foreign entity and not an Indian scheduled bank or RBI-registered financial institution, interest paid is not eligible for Section 80E deduction in India.
