28 July 2011 The best option for you will be to take a certificate from the bank regarding the loan.

And the amounts mentioned in the certificate as amount of principal and interest should be taken as deduction by you.

28 July 2011 The claim for interest under section 24 (b) is on due basis meaning thereby interest need not be paid every year to claim the deduction. So,if Rs. 50,000/- is repaid towards principal in an year, and interst due for that particular year ( as per certificate of lender)is Rs. 20,000/- then assessee's claim would appear as follows:-
a) deduction u/s 24(b) -- Rs. 20,000/-
b) deduction u/s 80C -- Rs. 50,000/-
