A person is repaying the housing loan which his father has taken to construct a residential house. Even though the loan is in father's name, our assessee is repaying the loan out of his taxable income. Can he claim the benefit U/s 80C?

Cannot claim because the words used are' repayment of the amount borrowed by the assessee'. Here assessee has not borrowed. Hence claim will be denied.
