No. Father cannot claim deduction for Interest U/s 80 E.Deduction under section 80 E is allowed only to the person who has taken loan and has paid the interest out of the Income earned by him. In the given case even if the loan is taken in the name of Mr.Son , the interest is paid out of the income of his father. So as the interest is not paid from the Income from Mr. Son, No deduction allowed to Father.
As stated by you, Mr. Son can claim deduction U/s 80E after he starts earning and pays the interest out of that income.
