2) Loan Transfer from Existing Banker :

a) Refinancing of existing loan to reduce obligation : When the cash flow of school , does not match with repayment schedule, it becomes difficult for them to repay the loan on time. In such situations, takeover of existing loan and arranging new loan with higher tenure (10-12 yrs) is the best solution. It will help schools to reduce obligation for repayment of loan, without affecting its credibility. For example: Current outstanding of the loan is Rs. 6 crores, to be repaid in next 3 years i.e. Repayment obligation is Rs.2 cr per year plus interest. After refinance from financial institution for 10 years, new obligation will be Rs. 0.6 crores per year plus interest. Time required for such loan transfer is 20-30 working days.

b) Consolidation of many loans in to one loan: If the school is servicing many loans at a time (Project loan, Bus loans, unsecured loans etc) & cashflow is streched, then consolidation of all these loans in one loan for easy & lower EMI is inevitable.

c) Release of Promoter Properties from existing bankers: During initial stages of school operation, along with school property, promoters normally mortgage their personal assets to bank for availing school loan. But when school becomes self suffient ,promoters personal properties can be released. Loan transfer in such cases, can help schools to release promoters personals properties.
