My client has taken loan education loan for her daughter's higher education, he started repayment from the FY 2012 - 2013, he paid interest of Rs. 97000/- in FY 2012-2013 but he couldn't take deduction u/s 80E while filing return.
Can he take deduction for the amount paid in the FY 2012-2013 i.e Rs. 97000/- while filing return for the FY 2013-2014,
Because as per income tax act, deduction is available if interest is paid by individual in previous financial year.
