Your EMI consists of two portions, principal & Interest. Get a statement from the concerned bank/ loan agency. It will show the exact break-up of your payments made during the year. Re-payment of principal of Housing loan is deductible under 80C. Payment of interest is claimable as deduction while calculating House Property Income.
