Documents Required for an Education Loan in India

Missing even one document can delay your loan approval. Here is a comprehensive checklist of everything banks and NBFCs ask for.

Student Documents

  • Completed loan application form
  • Passport-size photographs
  • Aadhaar card and PAN card copies
  • 10th, 12th, and degree mark sheets
  • Admission letter from the institution
  • Fee structure / prospectus

Co-applicant Documents

  • Aadhaar card and PAN card
  • Latest 3 months salary slips or ITR for the last 2 years
  • Bank statements for the last 6 months
  • Employment certificate or business proof

Collateral Documents (if applicable)

  • Property papers (title deed, encumbrance certificate)
  • Latest property tax receipt
  • Valuation report from a bank-empanelled valuator

Tips to Speed Up Processing

Submit self-attested copies of all documents. Keep originals ready for verification. Ensure your co-applicant's CIBIL score is above 700 for faster approval.
