The gross salary received must be treated as "Income from Salary". If there is no other source of income for that individual, it becomes the gross total income. Then, Interest on loan paid for higher education purpose can be deducted as prescribed u/s 80E.

For your kind attention, ONLY THE INTEREST PAID ON SUCH LOAN can be claimed as deduction u/s 80E and NOT the PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN...

But it has been amended from AY 2010-11 so as to include those student for whom the tax payer / assessee is a guardian...
