A loan sanction letter (on the letter head of the company) specifying that, loan has been given to its employees as "housing Loan". Also, Repayment schedule must also be provided by company.
It is not neccessary for company to collect document relating to credtworthyness of its employees (like bank--which asks for ITR copy, salary certificate etc.) This depends upon the policy of the company.
Yes, interest on loan is allowed as deduction. (company must give annual interest statement).
Wait for more replys on this.
