Where did you get this logic from. Is there anywhere specified in the checklist (either SSP or General) that 80% loan amout for SPP is only mandatory for SPP, and not for General.
I agree that each case is unique, and my experience may or may not apply to others.
Infact, loan amount of 80% of the total expense is NOT MANDATORY for SPP also. That's why my friend got visa under SPP by showing just 5.5lakhs as loan..
Hi
you have not read the SPP and general check lists carefully, in general 80% loan is a must and in general it is only strongly recommended pls clear your confusion. I will not comment on this anymore. God Bless
