Education Loan tax exemption to be claimed by co-borrower

This discussion clarifies whether a co-borrower can claim tax exemption on an education loan under Section 80E. The consensus is that the father, as a co-borrower, can claim the deduction for interest paid, even if the EMIs were paid by the primary borrower who received the funds. However, it's advised that EMIs be directly debited from the co-borrower's account to simplify future tax justifications.
