        I’m posting on behalf of a close friend who’s currently pursuing MBBS from a reputed college in India. He lost his father in 2019, and since then, he’s been managing things on his own with limited family support.

        Here’s a quick background:

        * After his father’s death, they had ₹25 lakhs in liquid cash, which he invested back in 2019.
        * Other assets include an LIC policy, a piece of land, and a shop.
        * The college fee is ₹16 lakhs per year.
        * His plan was to sell the land/shop over time to fund the rest of the MBBS fees, but unfortunately, there are no buyers—even after continuous efforts.

        **The issue right now:**

        * He needs to pay ₹8 lakhs for the current semester.
        * The last date for payment was in March. Since then, a **1% fine per day** is being added (₹8,000/day). After 15 days, it increases to **2%**, and so on.
        * As of now, **he only has ₹3 lakhs** in savings.
        * He approached banks for a loan, but they declined help since the deadline has passed. They said they could help next year.
        * He can’t pawn gold or take similar actions as it requires his mother’s permission—and she has a heart condition and can’t handle the stress.
        * On top of this, there’s an ongoing **court case** in the family that costs ₹3 lakhs per hearing.

        He is in **urgent need of ₹5 lakhs**, and he’s **willing to pay any reasonable interest** or sign any formal agreements. This is a genuine request to save his education and future. He’s already mentally drained and desperate.

        **Please suggest any possible options or connect with someone who might help.** Even leads for private lenders, NGOs, education-related financial support, or crowdfunding platforms will be appreciated.

        Thank you for reading and helping 🙏

          Man, talk to the college or University, speak to professor, seek some concession as you don’t have parents. They will definitely give you some concession. Meantime, Apply for a Education loan.

          You can available personal loan as well from reputed bank or educational loan.

          Don’t take loan from random apps, you would be screwed.

                He can fight this draconian interest rate of 1-2% per day in court. Even feudal landlords which rape family’s daughters don’t charge this high interest rate
