Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether EMIs paid on housing loans taken from a credit cooperative society are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80C (principal) and Section 24(b) (interest). While initial responses suggest eligibility, a closer look at the Income Tax Act definitions indicates that loans from cooperative credit societies might not fall under the specified categories for these deductions. Therefore, claiming deductions for principal repayment under 80C may not be permissible.

Yes, deduction can be claimed u/s 80C as well as 24(b) even in respect of loan from co-op society I think.

Yes deduction is available
Yes, you can claim deduction u/s 80C principal as well as 24(b) interest

The deduction will also be allowable in respect of re-payment of loans borrowed by an assessee from the Central Government or any State Government, or any bank, including a cooperative bank, or Life Insurance Corporation, or National Housing Bank, or certain other categories of institutions engaged in the business of providing long term finance for construction or purchase of houses in India.

As per the definition above, C0o-operative credit socieites are not coming under the above categories.  Hence, repayment of principal amount  not to be allowed under Section 80(C)
