This discussion clarifies whether the principal repayment of a housing loan for a let-out residential property is eligible for deduction under Section 80C. The consensus is that while the interest component of such a loan may be deductible, the principal amount is generally not allowed as a deduction under Section 80C, particularly when the property is rented out rather than self-occupied.
