Earlier, the fees and costs associated with this journey was fairly affordable. However, due to increasing competition and inflation, cost of education for children has become significantly expensive.

A lengthy and tedious application process can be both discouraging and tiring. Keeping this in mind, Bajaj Finance offers an easy online FD application process with minimum documentation. Furthermore, the issuer provides doorstep service to collect documents, so that you can invest instantly and conveniently.

Also, in case of emergencies, you can withdraw cash from one of the FDs and not break all your FD investments at the same time.
 
Loan against FD facility
Bajaj Finance lets you procure a loan of up to Rs. 4 lakh against your FD. This way, in case of emergencies, you do not need to liquidate your savings and your investment for your child’s education stays intact, as well.
