Very nice post Vaibhav, keep it up! However you also add that one can also get cash by taking a loan against gold which can then be useful to fund your education and can avoid the dilemma of getting an education loan separately.

You can claim a deduction for the interest paid on an education loan under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act. This deduction is available for a maximum of 8 years or until the interest is fully repaid, whichever is earlier. The loan should be taken from a recognized financial institution or approved charitable organization, and the loan must be for higher education purposes. For instance, Kotak Mahindra Bank offers education loans that qualify for this deduction. Ensure you keep all relevant documents, like interest certificates from Kotak Mahindra Bank, for tax filing purposes.
