Yes, you can show an education loan as proof of funds for your UK student visa application. The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) accepts education loans from recognized financial institutions to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses.

Key Points to Remember:

1. Acceptable Loan Providers:
- The loan must be from a nationalized or government-backed bank or a recognized financial institution. Private lenders may not always be accepted unless they are well recognized.

2. Loan Sanction Letter:
- You must provide an official loan sanction letter from the bank or financial institution. This letter should be on the bank’s letterhead, signed and stamped, and must clearly mention the applicant’s name, the amount sanctioned, that the loan is for higher education abroad, and the disbursement conditions.

3. Disbursement Conditions:
- The letter should confirm that the loan will be released to you (or directly to the university) once you receive your visa.

4. Currency and Amount:
- The sanctioned loan amount should be enough to cover the UKVI’s required financial threshold:
- London: £1,529 per month (for up to 9 months: £13,761)
- Outside London: £1,171 per month (for up to 9 months: £10,539)
- Plus your first year’s tuition fees.

5. Timing:
- The loan sanction letter should be dated no more than 6 months before your application date.

6. Translations:
- If your documents are not in English, you must provide certified translations.

Additional Tips:

- If you are combining funds (e.g., personal savings and loan), ensure that all sources meet UKVI requirements.
- If the loan is in your parent’s name, you must also provide proof of your relationship (like a birth certificate) and a letter from your parent confirming the funds are for your education.
