Yes, it is possible to make both your father and mother co-applicants for an education loan, and you can combine their income for loan eligibility. Many banks and financial institutions in India allow multiple co-applicants for an education loan, particularly when their combined financial standing can meet the lender's requirements. Here's what you should know and consider:
1. Eligibility for Multiple Co-applicants
- Most banks and NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies) allow multiple co-applicants, typically immediate family members such as parents, siblings, or a spouse.
- The combined income of your co-applicants will be considered to assess repayment capability.
2. Documents Needed
For both co-applicants, you will need:
- Income proof:
- For your father: Income certificate and/or agricultural income proof (since ITR is not available).
- For your mother: Salary slips, Form 16, or other income proof.
- Bank statements (Last 6 months).
- Identity proof (Aadhar, PAN, etc.).
- Address proof.
- Relationship proof (e.g., your birth certificate showing your parents' names).
3. Agricultural Income Acceptance
- Agricultural income is generally accepted by Indian lenders, but you may need to provide proof, such as land ownership documents, crop yield reports, and sale receipts.
