So if I take Rs 75 lakhs loan which is covering my first year tuition and living costs more than needed, what else do I need to show apart from the loan statement? Will they also ask on how I plan to pay my fees in the next years?
Will I be required to show bank statements or other things as well or the loan document is sufficient?
