Query related to deduction u/s 80c


(Guest)

Sec 80C provides for deduction of stamp duty and registration charges on purchase of new residential house property.

My query is whether this deduction is available only if residential house is purchased from a housing board or cooperative society or on loan from bank?

I mean If one person purchases residential property from other person and pays whole sales consideration, then whether the purchaser can claim deduction of stamp duty and registration charges or not?
