Required documents usually include the sale deed, title deed, 20–30 years’ chain documents, property tax receipts, approved building plan, occupancy certificate, encumbrance certificate, and society NOC (if applicable).

Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t know where to start? We are here to help.

What is the Organisation Fee (OF) and why it is Required

The Organisation Fee (OF) is a nominal charge for handling and processing your education loan application. It covers documentation support, coordination with banks/NBFCs, and end-to-end assistance to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

No hidden charges — complete transparency, always.

Hexafin aims to process a loan application within 10-15 working days upon receipt of complete documentation.

Some banks do not apply any prepayment and/ or foreclosure charges on an education loan availed.

The e-mandate amount is 1.5 times higher than your actual MI to facilitate the borrower. Take a scenario wherein the borrower may request changes to their MI – to avoid requesting a fresh mandate at each instance, a mandate with a higher amount typically covers all eventualities.

Currently, our banking partners do not offer a preferential interest rate for the girl child/ female students. We aim to provide a competitive interest rate, together with an attractive tax benefit, that effectively lowers the cost of your loan, and this applies to all students.
