This is not true at all. Consolidation merges your existing loans into a single loan, usually at a weighted average interest rate. It doesn&#8217;t increase your total debt but it simply simplifies the repayment process. When you take a personal loan for debt consolidation you just need to pay one EMI at a fixed interest rate thus saving you the cost of repaying multiple loans. Check with the example shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type of Loan<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Major Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Comparison (INR)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Repayment of 2-3 separate loans<\/td><td>High EMI amount\u00a0Floating Interest Rates make the loans costly<br>High Chance of delayed payments as managing multiple loans is difficult<br>Shorter Repayment Period\u00a0Risk of drop in credit score<\/td><td>Loan 110 lakh @ 13% p.a. for 5 years, EMI= 22,753<br>Loan 25 lakh @ 15% p.a. for 5 years, EMI=11,895<br>Loan 33 lakh @ 14% p.a. for 5 years, EMI=6,980<br>Net EMI: 41,628<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Repayment of Single Loan after Consolidation<\/td><td>Comparatively low EMI amount\u00a0Shorter Repayment Period<br>Fixed Rate of Interest\u00a0Low chance of delayed payment as one EMI is easy to manage<br>Positive Impact on Credit Score<\/td><td>Total Loan Amount= 18 lakh @ 12% for 10 years<br>Net EMI= 25,825<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Here, we can see that the EMI amount is low after loan consolidation and the repayment period is also suitable. The net difference between the EMI is INR 15,830 which is ultimately your saving.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/education-loan\/pros-and-cons-of-student-loan-consolidation\/\"><strong>Pros and Cons of Student Loan Consolidation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-myth-2-loan-consolidation-harms-credit-score\"><span id=\"myth-2-loan-consolidation-harms-credit-score\">Myth 2: Loan Consolidation Harms Credit Score<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Loan Consolidation cannot damage your credit score automatically. It can help you maintain a healthy credit score by ensuring timely payments. A single consolidated loan can be easier to manage, reducing the risk of missed payments and late fees. When you get the loan at lower interest rates and longer repayment periods the EMI amount will be less which you can pay easily. Timely repayments get recorded in the credit history and it helps to increase your credit score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-myth-3-all-loans-are-eligible-for-consolidation\"><span id=\"myth-3-all-loans-are-eligible-for-consolidation\">Myth 3: All Loans Are Eligible for Consolidation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all loans are eligible for consolidation. For Indian students studying abroad, most government and private education loans can be consolidated. However, certain loans may have restrictions. It&#8217;s essential to consult your lender, bank or financial advisor to determine which loans can be consolidated. Usually, for your ongoing education loan and any other type of loan, you can get a personal loan for debt consolidation in India subject to eligible criteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/education-loan\/impact-of-moratorium-and-grace-periods-in-education-loan-refinancing\/\"><strong>Impact of Moratorium and Grace Period in Education Loan Refinancing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-myth-4-loan-consolidation-results-in-loss-of-benefits\"><span id=\"myth-4-loan-consolidation-results-in-loss-of-benefits\">Myth 4: Loan Consolidation Results in Loss of Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another misconception is that education loan consolidations will lead to the loss of certain government benefits, such as income-driven repayment plans or loan forgiveness programs. While it&#8217;s true that some benefits may be forfeited, consolidation may still be the right choice for students who prioritize simplified repayment over these benefits. Also, loan forgiveness is not at all guaranteed in India. There is a negligible chance of education loan forgiveness especially in the case of study abroad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-myth-5-fixed-interest-rates-are-always-higher\"><span id=\"myth-5-fixed-interest-rates-are-always-higher\">Myth 5: Fixed Interest Rates Are Always Higher<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Student loan consolidation often provides borrowers with fixed interest rates as most education loan in India comes with a floating interest rate. However, fixed interest rates offer stability and predictability. It&#8217;s important to consider your risk tolerance and financial goals when deciding between fixed and variable rates. The interest rate on your education loan may get increased by the bank depending on the inflation rate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-myth-6-education-loan-consolidation-is-the-same-as-education-loan-refinancing\"><span id=\"myth-6-education-loan-consolidation-is-the-same-as-education-loan-refinancing\">Myth 6: Education Loan Consolidation is the same as Education Loan Refinancing<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Education loan consolidation and loan refinancing are two different things. Refinancing is generally taken to get a low rate of interest in a rising interest rate environment. You switch your lender and the loan gets transferred to a new lender with a revised EMI amount and repayment terms. On the other hand, Loan consolidation is when you take one loan to close two or more existing loans to reduce overall loan costs. Also, you don&#8217;t need to get a fixed rate of interest while refinancing but when you take personal loans for debt consolidation you can get fixed interest rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697635884307\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How does loan consolidation benefit students?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When you have 2 or more EMIs to pay every month against your education loans then it will keep you under stress. It is not always easy to manage 2-3 EMIs that too with a floating interest loan. Hence, loan consolidation is a better option to convert your multiple EMIs into one which is more affordable.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697635892675\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which is better loan refinancing or loan consolidation?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When you have two or more loans and credit card bills to repay then loan consolidation is a better option.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697635901938\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will my credit score be affected if I choose loan consolidation?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Loan consolidation will convert your multiple EMIs into one single EMI of a lower amount. Due to this, you will be able to pay your EMI timely without any hassle and this will ultimately increase your credit score.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To know more about education loan
