Education Loan EMI with a Moratorium
The short answer
On 10 lakh at 9.5 percent, a 48-month moratorium adds about ₹3,80,000 of simple interest, so you start repaying ₹13,80,000. Spread over 7 years, the EMI is about ₹22,555. Paying the interest during the course would keep the loan from growing.
For education loans: the study period plus any grace period before payments start. Interest in this time is added to the loan.

Frequently asked questions
How does the tool add the moratorium interest?
It adds simple interest on the loan for the moratorium months and works out the EMI on the larger amount. Your bank may handle this slightly differently, so treat it as an estimate.
Can I avoid the extra amount?
If you pay the interest every month while you study, the loan amount stays the same and the later EMI is lower. Ask the bank whether it allows this.
