The BSCC Credit Card verification process takes around 10 to 15 days after receiving the documents from the student. Thereafter, the successful verification of the documents, the details are then transferred to the banks which then approve or disapprove the loan. 

However, the approval and disapproval of the loan are shared by the banks through SMS on registered mobile number shared at the process of form filling. So, once, the loan is approved, the applicant has to visit the bank branch to complete the rest of the formalities.

The Interest Rates for the Bihar Student Credit Card Yojana vary with the banks. Earlier, the Interest Rate of Canara Bank was 12% and Madhya Bihar Gramin Bank was 12.5% per year. But according to the latest information, the Bihar Government is providing loan at 4% simple interest. However, 1% is for the women, PWD, and transgender, through “Bihar Student Education Finance Corporation”.

Moreover, no interest is applicable for the course duration of 4 years (B.Tech) plus an additional year. Therefore, you need to pay your loan after 5 years of admission to the course in installments. However, you can also extend the deadline, by informing the DRCC. All you have to do is write an application form twice a year (July and December).
