Quick Summary
Section 80E of the Income Tax Act allows individuals to claim deductions for the interest paid on educational loans taken for higher education. This deduction applies regardless of whether the student is a major or minor, dependent or independent. The key is that the loan must be for higher education, and the individual claiming the deduction must be the one paying the interest.

Sec 80E allows deduction in respect of interest on loan taken on higher education of relatives. For the purpose of this section, relative, in relation to an individual, means the spouse and children of that individual or the student for whom the individual is the legal guardian.

So it is irrelevant if the child is major or minor, dependent or independent.
Sec 80E IS AN EXEMPTION FROM GROSS TOTSL INCOME.
