Which documents do I need to apply for the National Overseas Scholarship?
You generally need identity proof such as Aadhaar or another government ID, passport, photograph, community certificate, income certificate, educational certificates and marksheets, the foreign university's admission letter, its fee structure and bank account details. Passport and fee structure are needed later, so the application-stage list differs.
The National Overseas Scholarship asks you to upload documents that verify your identity, eligibility, academic background and financial status. The list below covers what is generally required across the process, and the application-stage list differs because the passport and university fee structure are needed later.

My Advice
Request your community and income certificates early, since they come from an authority and can take time. Scan everything cleanly at the size and format the portal prescribes, and cross-check names and dates against your application form.
