28 October 2013 Dear Yogesh,

I think you are confusing the matter. You are eligible for claiming interest of Rs 113839 under 24B. but assuming thats the interest, then you have actually repaid nothing against the principal. the whole of your EMI has gone against the interest repayment.

The total payment made is 103200 however interest is higher than this. So the application of the repayment has gone against the interest.
