Income tax rebate on education loan query

 

I have a question on Education loan..

I am paying my education loan(My Father is a Guarranter) for last 2 years. Me and My father both are working (Father in a Govt Office and I am in a Private company). Both of us want to get tax rebate for total interest paid for financial Year 2011-2012. For that, I am planning to submit the loan documents for months April'11-September'11, and want to show that I have paid this period and want the Tax Rebate, on amount paid (interest portion) for this period. The rest Oct'11-Mar'12, will be declared by my father and apply for Tax rebate.

Will it be possible or can we face any problem in this case in future??? Please advice.

    Loan should be in the name of the individual : 

Deductions on education loan can only be claimed if the loan has been taken in your own name. If your parents, spouse or sibling has taken the loan for your studies, then you are not entitled to get tax benefit.

It means that if loan is taken by your father then only he can claim deduction for payment of interest and if its in your name then you can claim deduction.
