Hi All,

I Have taken education loan of 2.5 lakh between 2008-12 period and now i have started paying emi of 4500 rs from April -2013 .

Kindly clarify how will the emi will be distributed between principal and interest of loan OR all of the emi will go under interest repayment which was accumlated over the period of 4 year (2008-2012)
. If all of the emi is going under interest repayment then can i claim rebate of 4500*12=54000 under section 80E.(It includes interest charged on loan for last year)

Thanks and Regards

Saurabh Goyal

Bank will charges interest on loan and will calculated on reducing balance. Initially your interest component shall be large and gradually it will reduce. Interest paid on education loan is eligible for deduction u/s 80E.

You can ask the bank to give you the breakup of interest and principal component of the EMI
