In some of the cases where TCS is in the approved list of companies for a personal loan even the employee identity card of the TCS employee is accepted by the lender as the identity proof.
For place of residence, in addition to the some of the documents enumerated above where the current address is printed on it, some other documents like utility bills, property ownership documents, leave and licences agreement, property tax payment receipts, bank statement or bank passbooks are accepted by the lenders.
The second part of documents which you need to submit to the lenders for getting the personal loan is the documents which conclusively establish your repaying capability.

You can also submit copy of ITR if you have filed one.
The lender may also ask you to submit copies of your bank statement or bank passbook to ascertain whether you are presently servicing any other loan whether a personal loan or home loan. In case you are paying any EMI presently, your personal loan eligibility may come down to that extent. Unlike home loan the lenders do not allow you anyone else to joint as co-borrower except in the case of marriage loan where the bride and groom both jointly can apply for a personal loan for their marriage, to enhance their overall eligibility.
