Yes, you can apply for an education loan even if your family members are not working, but you will need to provide alternative documentation.

- Personal ID and Address Proof: Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or voter ID.
- Academic Records: Mark sheets and certificates for Class 10, 12, and graduation.
- Admission Letter: Official offer/admission letter from your chosen institution, including the fee structure.
- Co-Applicant's Financials: If you have a co-applicant (such as another relative), their income proof is needed. If no one has income, you may need to provide collateral (like property documents or fixed deposit receipts).
- Collateral Documents (if required): Property title deed, encumbrance certificate, property tax receipts, or fixed deposit receipts.
- Additional Documents: Passport-size photos, gap certificate (if any), and an affidavit confirming no other loans.

Requirements can vary by lender and are subject to change.
