Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for deduction under Section 80E of the Income Tax Act. The key point is that the loan must be for higher education, meaning studies pursued after completing Class XII. Interest paid on a loan taken for a child studying in Class XI is therefore not eligible for deduction under this section.

Answer is Nil

Because Loan is taken for passing class XI exams

Deduction u/s 80 E is available only if Loan is taken for Higher education - It means education after passing class XII
