Auxilo Finserve, India's leading education-focused NBFC, on Tuesday, 12 May, said it had expanded its domestic education loan business ‘IndiaEd’ to provide direct fee disbursement to registered schools and colleges across India.
According to the NBFC, the programme covers K–12, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including engineering, medical and management disciplines. The company announced that all loan applications will be processed digitally, and approved loans will be disbursed within 48 hours directly into the institution's account.
"Schools and colleges are dependent on fee income as their primary revenue stream, and delayed fee collections affect payroll cycles, defer infrastructure investment and constrain academic planning," Anand Subramaniam, CBO – IndiaEd at Auxilo, noted.
"As per research reports, India's education costs are rising at an estimated 10–12% annually, significantly outpacing general consumer price inflation. The financial burden on families is growing substantially. For institutions, this environment makes timely fee collection critical to sustaining operations, meeting payroll and funding planned development," Subramaniam said.
"Online applications, 48-hour disbursement, and payment straight to the institution remove friction on both sides. Schools and colleges receive fee certainty, and families have a structured, dignified way to invest in their children's education. This is a formal finance meeting, a documented and largely unaddressed gap," said Subramaniam.
The company said its programme is available to all educational institutions in metro, tier-1 and tier-2 cities. Educational institutions want to offer their students access to
