Its urgent

Look interest is a different case while the payment for tution fees is  different... So both are allowed. I have not seen any practical cases, but logically its definately allowed....

I m 101% sure he can claim deduction u/s 80C & also 80E

u/s 80C - the principal amt equal to tution fee only

u/s 80E - the Interest amt , paid out of his income chargeable to tax

Yes, Logically Its Right to Claim..........

I Too Not Seen Any Case Regarding This Matter.......

Dhiraj ur correct...

hey this is practical case n this is case of ma dad..........

ya Neha m agree with Rohini, u claim deduction of priciple amt. bt extent to tuition fee.

Deduction allowable of fees paid u/s 80C as tuition fees (excluding any payment towards any development fees or donation or payment of similar nature), whether at the time of admission or thereafter,

(a) to any university, college, school or other educational institution situated within India;

(b) for the purpose of full-time education

Dear Neha,

Both can be claimed no doubt about it

I think what is causing confusion in this case is  -

Earlier when there was Rebate u/s 88 in place of Deduction u/s 80C - there used to be a condition - that following payments should be made -

out of his income chargeable to tax

Now in light of this condition it was not possible to claim Rebate based on payments made out of Loan

But this condition was omitted by the Finance Act, 2002, w.e.f. 1-4-2003 (You can still find these words written in Sec 80E but no more in Sec 80C)

Further -

Sec 80E allows benefit of INTEREST only whereas PAYMENT OF TUITION FEE will constitue the PRINCIPAL portion.

So there is no double benefit which assessee is availing by claiming both deductions..

Yes neha... can claim both the deduction.....Agree with amir.....

Mostly same like Income from house property... One section provided dedution of Interest while other provides deduction of principal.....

So easily can claim it....

dear neha

both are different sections, they are not mutually exclusive, the interest can be claimed under sec 80 E and the fees can be claimed under sec 80 C, no doubt in it, be 100000% sure about it

karthi

You can Claim both..

As such no case law on this matter also.. 

The interest on loan taken is eligible for 80E

And Portion of Tution fees alone paid will be eligible for Sec 80 C

And there is no provision as such that both deductions cannot be claimed

100% Surity
