● How should I apply for a loan against my mutual funds? Will the interest rate be lower than that of a personal loan? -Arvind Iyer

Yes, you may look for a loan against securities like your mutual funds. However, the loan amount will be about 50% of the value of the equity schemes and 80% of the value of debt schemes. The effective interest rate will be lower than a personal loan.

● Last year I took an education loan from Kaveri Grameen Bank for my son to study abroad. Can I shift the loan to another bank with lower interest rate?

-Subash Arora
