12 May 2010In govt. organisations, on home loan, principal amount is first deducted from salary and after fully paying principle amount interest thereon is deducted from salary.
my question is whether such interest is eligible for deduction u/s 24 or not?
if yes, plz send notification/ circular/ provision in detail.
Plz reply me gauravbansal00776 @ gmail.com
