Quick Summary
You can claim a tax deduction for the full amount of interest paid on your education loan during the financial year. This deduction is available for up to 8 years, starting from when you begin repaying the loan. Ensure you get a certificate from your bank that clearly separates the principal and interest components of your payments. Remember, only the interest portion is eligible for tax relief, not the principal repayment.

There is no limit for the interest deduction on educational loan. 

The deduction of interest can  be availed for 8 years once the repayment starts.

The interest deduction cannot be claimed after 8 years if the repayment is still not completed.

Got it Thank you

The deduction is allowed of the total interest paid during the financial year. There is no limit on the maximum amount that is allowed as deduction. One should obtain a certificate from bank. Such certificate should diffrenciate the principal and the interest portion of the education loan paid during the financial year. The total interest paid will be allowed as a deduction. No Tax benefit is allowed for the principal repayment.
