1. Try this site: http://www.digitalcharity.com/m.php?id=38074 it can make you good money and it is easy to do. There are no fees and it pays out. It is one of the few opportunities at home websites that has made me good money consistently. It makes me $2000-$3000 a month. I came acrose this and it worked.
2. Under section 80E, If you are an Individual, for the assessment year 2008-09 and subsequent years, you can get deduction from your Gross total income, for all the interest paid on such loan (100%). But you cannot get any deduction for repayment of principal. The interest can be deducted for the initial assessment year and for seven successive years, or until the interest is paid in full, which ever is earlier.
