Auxilo Education Loan Brings Big Relief Across India
Ahmedabad Institutions Gain Strong Support Through Auxilo Education Loan
Auxilo Finserve, India’s leading education-focused NBFC, has expanded its Domestic Education Loan business, IndiaEd, to support students and families across the country. The company will now provide direct fee disbursement to registered schools and colleges across India. The programme covers K–12, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including engineering, medical and management studies. Auxilo said all applications will be processed digitally, while approved loans will be disbursed within 48 hours directly into the institution’s account.
The move comes at a time when education costs in India are climbing at a fast pace. Recent financial reports and market studies show that education inflation in India is growing at nearly 10 to 12 per cent every year, which is much higher than normal inflation. Experts say tuition fees for schools, coaching classes and professional courses can double in six to seven years if the trend continues.
Parents in metro cities are already feeling the pressure. Studies published by financial research groups show that private school fees in major cities have risen sharply in the past decade. In some cases, the total cost of schooling from nursery to Class 12 can cross ₹60 lakh in premium schools. Even mid-range schools now cost many lakhs over a child’s academic life.
The rising cost of education has also changed the way Indian families plan their finances. Reports suggest household spending on education has increased from ₹1.8 lakh crore in FY12 to ₹8.43 lakh crore in FY24. This sharp rise reflects how education has become one of the biggest expenses for middle-class families. Financial experts now advise parents to begin planning for school and college costs from the time a child is very young.
At the same time, many students are unable to continue their studies because of financial stress. Government survey data has shown that a large number of students leave school or college before completing their education due to financial problems. Education experts believe this affects not only families but also the country’s future workforce.
Anand Subramaniam, CBO – IndiaEd at Auxilo, said schools and colleges depend heavily on fee income to run smoothly. Delayed fee payments can affect staff salaries, campus improvements and future academic plans. Education sector analysts agree that many private schools and colleges across India face cash-flow pressure when fees are delayed for months.
Auxilo’s IndiaEd model aims to solve this issue for both institutions and families. Under the system, parents can convert large yearly or term fees into smaller monthly repayments. Educational institutions, meanwhile, receive fee payments directly into their bank accounts, giving them faster and more reliable collections.
Industry observers say digital lending is becoming more important in the education sector. Many families now prefer online applications because they reduce paperwork and speed up approvals. Auxilo has focused strongly on this area in recent years. The company says its systems are designed to provide faster loan sanctions and flexible repayment plans.
The company, founded in 2017, has built its business around education finance and is registered with the Reserve Bank of India as a non-banking financial company. Auxilo currently supports students studying in India and abroad and also works with educational institutions on funding solutions.
Experts in the financial sector believe specialised education lenders are filling a gap left by traditional banking systems. In many cases, families struggle to secure quick education loans because of strict rules or long approval timelines. NBFCs focused on education have tried to simplify the process by offering digital applications, flexible repayment structures and faster decisions.
Auxilo said the IndiaEd programme is available for educational institutions in metro, Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities. Institutions that want to provide access to the programme for students can register through the company’s institutional partnership desk.
Education planners believe such financing options could become more common in the coming years as education expenses continue to rise faster than average household income. With school and college costs showing no signs of slowing down, many Indian families are now treating education planning as a long-term financial responsibility rather than a short-term expense.
