Tax Benefit
Repayment of an education loan is deductible under section 80E of the Income Tax Act. The yearly limit for deduction is Rs. 40,000 (for both the principal and the interest). Only loans taken for higher education - fulltime studies in any graduate or post-graduate, professional, and pure and applied science courses - may claim deduction. The deduction will be available for a maximum of eight years starting from the day you start repaying.

Dear Sandeep

please correct ur knowledge

u/s 80E deduction is available for the payment of interest on edu. loan and no deduction is allowed for the repayment of edu. loan, niether u/s 80E nor u/s 80C

limit for deduction for interest is Rs 40000 per year or total amt that included both the principal and interest paid during the year , whichever is lower

No, u/s 80E deduction is available for the payment of interest education..... so no deduction is allowed for tution fees paid out of loan..

Mr. Nabeel is Right.

u/s 80E deduction is available for the payment of interest education..... so no deduction is allowed for tution fees paid out of loan....    

Arre Interest on education loan is allowed as deduction to student or its parent and principal portion is not allowed also note dat ther is not thresh hold for amount of deducation as stated here by some users(40,000).

Acts states as follows:

In computing the total income of an assessee, being an individual, there shall be deducted, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this section, any amount paid by him in the previous year, out of his income chargeable to tax, by way of interest on loan taken by him from any financial institution or any approved charitable institution for the purpose of pursuing his higher education [or for the purpose of higher education of his relative].

(2) The deduction specified in sub-section (1) shall be allowed in computing the total income in respect of the initial assessment year and seven assessment years immediately succeeding the initial assessment year or until the interest referred to in sub-section (1) is paid by the assessee in full, whichever is earli

ONLY INTEREST ON EDUCATION IS ALLOWED AND THERE IS NOT THRESHOLD LIMIT FOR THE SAME

I Agree with geenesh  mehta

There is no thresh hold limit
