Hi, will just the full funded(including the tuition and living expenses) loan letter suffice for visa interview?

The 6 months passport validity requirement does not apply to many countries (including India). https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Dec/Six-Month%20Club%20Update122017.pdf

Its always recommended to have both sanctioned education loan and savings amount although education loan amount covers university tuition fee and living expenses because it increases your chance of getting visa approval.
