11 August 2014 dear hetvi.
sec 24 of the I T act , gives deduction on interest paid on borrowed capital . it does not make any difference from whom the funds are borrowed. even if the funds are borrowed from private party, assesse will get deduction on interest on borrowed fund u/s 24

however, for claiming deduction on repayment of housing loan , act has mentioned specific person from whom funds are to be borrowed . pls refer to sec 80 (c)(2) xviii (c).
pls do not get confused between sec 24 and 80 c. their may be cases , where u will get deduction u/s 24 for interest paid , but not u/s 80 c for repayment of that borrowed funds
in your case , u will get deduction u/s 24, but u have to check wheather deduction is available or not u/s 80 c. in my opinion, u will not get deduction u/s 80 c for repayment

11 August 2014 pls check clause xviii (c) of sub sec 2 of sec 80 c.
if the above sahakari mandali is co opertaive society and engaged in the business of financing the construction of house , then only u will get deduction on repayment otherwise not. u pls go through the sanction letter given by the society and MOA OF THE SOCIETY
