Definition of Higher education is proposed to be substituted by making a amendment as per Finance (No. 2) Bill 2009. After the amendment Higher education would means any course of study pursued after passing the Senior Secondary Examination or its equivalent from any school, board or university recognised by the Central Government or State Government or local authority or by any other authority authorised by the Central Government or State Government or local authority to do so. My Query - I have taken a loan from Indian Bank for a Foreign Course. Will I be eligible to Claim deduction U/s 80 E? Is it necessary that the Foreign University shall be Central Govt recognised? If yes, is there any list of such universities available?
