|---|---|---|
| ₹10,00,000 | 36 months (after moratorium) | ~₹33,200/month |

| ₹14,00,000 | 48 months | ~₹36,900/month |

Option 2 — Employer Sponsorship
Many organisations sponsor or co-fund IIM executive programmes for high-potential employees. Before applying, check your company's Learning & Development policy. Common sponsorship models: full fee reimbursement (typically with a service bond of 2-3 years), partial reimbursement (50-70% of fee), education loan guarantee (company guarantees the loan reducing interest rate). PSU employees should specifically check for government-sector L&D funding programmes.
Option 3 — Credit Card / No-Cost EMI on Instalments
Each of the 4 programme instalments can be paid via credit card EMI (no-cost EMI is available on some bank cards through Jaro Education's payment gateway). For example: Instalment 2 of ~₹3.06L on HDFC/ICICI no-cost EMI over 12 months = ~₹25,500/month with zero interest. This works only for cards with sufficient limit (~₹3.5L+).
Tax Benefit on Education Loan — Section 80E
Interest paid on education loans qualifies for deduction under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act — for 8 years from the year you start repayment. There is no upper limit on the deduction amount. At 12% interest on ₹12L loan, this translates to ~₹1.44L of interest deductible in Year 1, reducing at effective tax rate of 30% saves approximately ₹43K in the first year.
