An education loan deduction is a tax benefit available on the interest paid towards loans taken for higher education. It does not apply to the principal amount of the loan.

Things to keep in Mind

• You can claim this deduction for up to 8 years, starting from the year you begin repaying the interest.
  
• The loan must be taken for the higher education of yourself, your spouse, children, or a student for whom you are a legal guardian.
