I have a education loan with Bank of Baroda. The savings account linked to this bank is a joint account where I am a secondary holder and my mother is the primary account holder.
If I make EMI repayment from this account, will I be eligible for 80E deduction?
Note: The loan is on my name. Also, I tried for an ECS from my salary account in HDFC but the bank is refusing that and advising to make payment through BOB savings joint account, so I will be transferring from salary account to BOB account.

No, an education loan taken on behalf of your spouse, children, adopted children, student for whom the taxpayer is the legal guardian are applicable for deduction under section 80E.
