What Are the Documents Required for Getting a Loan for Education?

Education is a transformative journey and we understand the significance of financial support for students pursuing their educational aspirations. To ensure a seamless education loan application process, it is important to gather the necessary documents. We are here to inform you of the essential documents required for an education loan and the elements of an education loan application.

Here are all the documents required for a study loan. Be sure submit them along with a duly filled application form:

Application Form and Photographs:  

To initiate the education loan process, applicants need to complete the loan application form, which can be obtained from the lender’s official website or branch. Along with the application form, recent passport-sized photographs are required. 

Proof of Identity and Residence

Lenders may require valid proof of identity and residence to verify the applicant’s credentials. Documents such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID card, passport, or driving license can be submitted as proof of identity. 

Admission and Academic Documents

Lenders ask for documents that establish the applicant’s admission to a recognised educational institution. This includes the admission or invitation letter or offer of admission from the institution, providing essential details about the course, duration, and fees schedule of the institute. Academic documents, such as mark sheets and certificates of previous qualifications, are also required to assess the applicant’s educational background and performance.

Income and Financial Documents

Income proof is one of the most important documents required for a study loan. Loan providers request for income and financial documents to evaluate the applicant’s financial capacity. This typically includes the income proof of the applicant’s parent or guardian, such as salary slips, income tax returns, or bank statements. 

Collateral and Security Documents

Lenders may ask you to pledge certain assets against your student loan. These documents would include property documents, fixed deposit receipts, or any other assets that can be offered as security against the loan.
