Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for claiming deductions on education loan interest under Section 80E. It explains that deductions can only be claimed for interest paid in the current financial year (FY 2019-20 in this case) and not for previous years where the deduction wasn't claimed. The deduction is available for a maximum of 8 years, and there is no upper limit on the amount of interest that can be claimed.

Deduction can be claimed for expenses/investments done in the financial year for which ITR is filed. Thus previous year interest expenses on Education loan can't be taken as exemption under section 80E.
Thanks

You can claim ded in FY 19-20 related to 19-20 only. Plz note you can only claim a max of Rs 25000 in a year as deduction and it can be claimed only for 8 years.
