Challenges in an SBI Education Loan

Branch Side

Before the sanctioning process begins, it is necessary to submit all the required documents. There might be a need for additional documents as well. It is important to note that not all SBI branches are equally friendly when it comes to education loans. However, based on our wide experience in processing numerous education loans at SBI, we may assist you in finding the most helpful branch. We will communicate with the branch officials on your behalf and discuss your case with them. To simplify the process, we offer you with a personalized checklist at the beginning, ensuring that you only need to submit the documents once.

Legal Problems with The Property

SBI-approved lawyers thoroughly examine both the legal documents of your property and the property itself. However, the time it takes for the bank and the lawyers to complete this process can be lengthy and uncertain. Moreover, there are instances where they may not put in sufficient effort to explore alternative documents or approaches when faced with issues related to the documents or the property. In such challenging circumstances, Shiksha Udaan Capital has successfully assisted numerous students and we are confident that we can assist you too!

Technical Problems with The Property

The SBI appoints Civil Engineers to assess properties. They start by visiting the property, measuring it, and examining its location and age. They also determine the Distress Sale Price, Fair Price, and Market Price of the property. However, the time it takes for the Civil Engineer to complete this evaluation can vary and be uncertain. Our objective is to complete this step within 3 working days by adhering to a systematic approach.
