Record	Use it to verify	Why keep it
Identity and relationship documents	Accepted relationship and residency rules for the chosen lender	Lets you challenge the exact field, charge, date or obligation.
Salary slips, ITRs or business-income proof	Documented income and existing monthly obligations	Protects the decision if a portal, account screen or verbal explanation changes.
Bank statements	Credit-report accuracy and any overdue accounts	Separates a written fact from a sales statement.
Co-borrower credit report and existing loan schedules	Accepted relationship and residency rules for the chosen lender	Creates a dated record another reviewer can verify.

Write down the academic deadline and the exact amount/date that must be paid.
Check sanction conditions, co-borrower requirements, margin contribution, disbursement trigger, and moratorium terms.
Ask the lender for the specific missing condition or calculation in writing.
Send university invoices, admission proof, visa/forex documents, or revised payment instructions in one labelled file.
