Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for claiming an 80E deduction under the Income Tax Act for education loan interest. The consensus is that interest paid in July 2021, relating to the Financial Year 2020-21, cannot be claimed as a deduction for that same FY. Instead, the deduction for this interest can be claimed in the subsequent financial year, FY 2021-22.

In my opinion,NO since deduction is with respect to interest paid during the year.You can have deduction in f.y.2021-22
No you cannot claim
Ok thanks
