26 June 2013 Personal loans are not eligible for deduction u/s.80C or 24b

Incase loan taken for house construction, then banker has to give the certificate clearly mentioning the purpose as " House construction or acquisition"

27 June 2013 Agreed with the opinion of Rameshji even if you take Personal Loan and use it for the Purpose of House Construction still it will not be eligible for deduction. Even if you take the certificate still I dont think so you will be able to take any benefit in Income Tax
