80e deduction from capital gain

yes the loan can be taken from american institutions but only from notified institutions or banks

In my opinion, if a loan is taken outside India for higher studies and any interest is paid during the previous year, such interest payment is not eligible for deduction under income tax act.

Financial Institution means any approved FI by central government or a Banking Company to which the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 applies. So, the higher study course should have been from a board or university as recognised by central/state governement/local authority. Course must be a full-time program.

Hence, with regard to your query, Section 80E benefit is not available as it has taken from american bank or univeristy. Please correct me if i am wrong.

    Payment of interest of Education loan taken for higher deduction of self or spouse of children: without any   maximum limit of payment.

    Yes it's deductible u/s 80E.

All the best   

under section 80E, it is not specified whether the loan should be borrowed from FI's in India only.. therefore, deduction is allowed.......
