Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether housing loan processing fees and file charges paid to a bank can be claimed as a deduction under Section 24. The consensus is yes, these fees are considered part of the interest paid on borrowed money as defined by Section 2(28A) of the Income Tax Act, making them tax-deductible.

Processing fees is tax deductible

YES.

As per S. 2(28A) "interest" means interest payable in any manner in respect of any moneys borrowed or debt incurred (including a deposit, claim or other similar right or obligation) and includes any service fee or other charge in respect of the moneys borrowed or debt incurred or in respect of any credit facility which has not been utilised.

Thanks
