Institutions require funds for things such as construction, laboratory set up, equipping libraries, doing research projects, setting up Centres of Excellence (CoE), campus common infrastructure. HEFA only funds non recurring portion.

Institutes of Higher Education in India set up or funded under control of MHRD GoI and other central ministry as decided by MHRD are eligible to take finance from HEFA.

Loan processing of HEFA starts with institution submitting proposal at hefa.co.in. then HEFA assesses loan eligibility and communicates any queries it has about proposal. Financial, technical, legal processes are then completed. HEFA conveys sanction with terms to institution. Once institution executes loan documents, loan is given.
