Can my father, who is self-employed, sponsor my education and what documents are needed?

Yes, your self-employed father can sponsor your education abroad. He will need to provide documents that show both his relationship to you and his financial capacity:

- Sponsorship letter stating his commitment to fund your studies and living expenses
- Proof of relationship (such as your birth certificate)
- Identity proof (passport or government-issued ID)
- Income proof (income tax returns for the last 2-3 years)
- Business documents (business registration certificates, GST returns, or licenses)
- Bank statements (personal and business, typically for the last 6-12 months)
- Financial statements (audited, if available)

These documents help demonstrate stable income and sufficient funds for your education.
