My doubt is that if I take a loan for purchasing a house from a friend/relative or against FD from a bank, can I claim deduction u/s 24b of the interest amount on such loan?
11 April 2013
Under section 24b interest deduction can be avail even loan taken from friends/relative or any person, but loan giver (lender) has to provide the certificate that they have give loan for the purpose of purchase or construction of house only

There is specified Institutions and only loan taken from them for the purpose of construction or purchase of house is eligible for the deduction. Loan from private parties will not entitle you to take the deduction. The expert has correctly given the details of the agencies from whom you can avail the loan to take the exemption
