Yes, a bank loan sanction letter can be used as financial proof for your New Zealand student visa, if it meets the country's requirements.

- The loan must be from a recognized nationalized or multinational bank in India.
- It should be secured against fixed assets owned by you or your family.
- The sanction letter must clearly state the loan amount, security, moratorium period, interest, repayment terms, and confirm the funds are for tuition and living expenses.
- You may also need to show your repayment plan and provide recent bank statements or supporting documents for immediate fund access.

Loans from NBFCs or unsecured personal loans are generally not accepted.
