All about deduction under section 80C and tax planning

Aug 30, 2009 Income Tax
Background for Section 80C of the Income Tax Act (India) / What are eligible investments for Section 80C:
Section 80C replaced the existing Section 88 with more or less the same investment mix available in Section 88. The new
section 80C has become effective w.e.f. 1st April, 2006. Even the section 80CCC on pension scheme contributions was
merged with the above 80C. However, this new section has allowed a major change in the method of providing the tax
benefit. Section 80C of the Income Tax Act allows certain investments and expenditure to be tax-exempt. One must plan
investments well and spread it out across the various instruments specified under this section to avail maximum tax benefit.
Unlike Section 88, there are no sub-limits and is irrespective of how much you earn and under which tax bracket you fall.
The total limit under this section is Rs 1 lakh. Included under this heading are many small savings schemes like NSC, PPF
and other pension plans. Payment of life insurance premiums and investment in specified government infrastructure bonds
are also eligible for deduction under Section 80C
Most of the Income Tax payee try to save tax by saving under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. However, it is important
to know the Section in toto so that one can make best use of the options available for exemption under income tax Act. One
important point to note here is that one can not only save tax by undertaking the specified investments, but some expenditure
which you normally incur can also give you the tax exemptions.
Besides these investments, the payments towards the principal amount of your home loan are also eligible for an income
deduction. Education expense of children is increasing by the day. Under this section, there is provision that makes payments
towards the education fees for children eligible for an income deduction
Sec 80C of the Income Tax Act is the section that deals with these tax breaks. It states that qualifying investments, up to a
maximum of Rs. 1 Lakh, are deductible from your income. This means that your income gets reduced by this investment
amount (up to Rs. 1 Lakh), and you end up paying no tax on it at all!
This benefit is available to everyone, irrespective of their income levels. Thus, if you are in the highest tax bracket of 30%,
and you invest the full Rs. 1 Lakh, you save tax of Rs. 30,000. Isn’t this great? So, let’s understand the qualifying
investments first.
Qualifying Investments
Provident Fund (PF) & Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF: PF is automatically deducted from your salary. Both you and
your employer contribute to it. While employer’s contribution is exempt from tax, your contribution (i.e., employee’s
contribution) is counted towards section 80C investments. You also have the option to contribute additional amounts
1 of 35 7/17/2010 11:41 PM
through voluntary contributions (VPF). Current rate of interest is 8.5% per annum (p.a.) and is tax-free.
Public Provident Fund (PPF): Among all the assured returns small saving schemes, Public Provident Fund (PPF) is one of
the best. Current rate of interest is 8% tax-free and the normal maturity period is 15 years. Minimum amount of contribution
is Rs 500 and maximum is Rs 70,000. A point worth noting is that interest rate is assured but not fixed.
Life Insurance Premiums: Any amount that you pay towards life insurance premium for yourself, your spouse or your
children can also be included in Section 80C deduction. Please note that life insurance premium paid by you for your parents
(father / mother / both) or your in-laws is not eligible for deduction under section 80C. If you are paying premium for more
than one insurance policy, all the premiums can be included. It is not necessary to have the insurance policy from Life
Insurance Corporation (LIC) – even insurance bought from private players can be considered here.
Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS): There are some mutual fund (MF) schemes specially created for offering you tax
savings, and these are called Equity Linked Savings Scheme, or ELSS. The investments that you make in ELSS are eligible
for deduction under Sec 80C.
Home Loan Principal Repayment: The Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) that you pay every month to repay your home
loan consists of two components – Principal and Interest.The principal component of the EMI qualifies for deduction under
Sec 80C. Even the interest component can save you significant income tax – but that would be under Section 24 of the
Income Tax Act. Please read “Income Tax (IT) Benefits of a Home Loan / Housing Loan / Mortgage”, which presents a full
analysis of how you can save income tax through a home loan.
Stamp Duty and Registration Charges for a home: The amount you pay as stamp duty when you buy a house, and the
amount you pay for the registration of the documents of the house can be claimed as deduction under section 80C in the year
of purchase of the house.
National Savings Certificate (NSC): National Savings Certificate (NSC) is a 6-Yr small savings instrument eligible for
section 80C tax benefit. Rate of interest is eight per cent compounded half-yearly, i.e., the effective annual rate of interest is
8.16%. If you invest Rs 1,000, it becomes Rs 1601 after six years. The interest accrued every year is liable to tax (i.e., to be
included in your taxable income) but the interest is also deemed to be reinvested and thus eligible for section 80C deduction.
Infrastructure Bonds: These are also popularly called Infra Bonds. These are issued by infrastructure companies, and not
the government. The amount that you invest in these bonds can also be included in Sec 80C deductions.
Pension Funds – Section 80CCC: This section – Sec 80CCC – stipulates that an investment in pension funds is eligible for
deduction from your income. Section 80CCC investment limit is clubbed with the limit of Section 80C – it maeans that the
total deduction available for 80CCC and 80C is Rs. 1 Lakh.This also means that your investment in pension funds upto Rs. 1
Lakh can be claimed as deduction u/s 80CCC. However, as mentioned earlier, the total deduction u/s 80C and 80CCC can
not exceed Rs. 1 Lakh.
5-Yr bank fixed deposits (FDs): Tax-saving fixed deposits (FDs) of scheduled banks with tenure of 5 years are also entitled
for section 80C deduction.
Senior Citizen Savings Scheme 2004 (SCSS): A recent addition to section 80C list, Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS)
is the most lucrative scheme among all the small savings schemes but is meant only for senior citizens. Current rate of
interest is 9% per annum payable quarterly. Please note that the interest is payable quarterly instead of compounded
quarterly. Thus, unclaimed interest on these deposits won’t earn any further interest. Interest income is chargeable to tax.
5-Yr post office time deposit (POTD) scheme: POTDs are similar to bank fixed deposits. Although available for varying
time duration like one year, two year, three year and five year, only 5-Yr post-office time deposit (POTD) – which currently
offers 7.5 per cent rate of interest –qualifies for tax saving under section 80C. Effective rate works out to be 7.71% per
annum (p.a.) as the rate of interest is compounded quarterly but paid annually. The Interest is entirely taxable.
NABARD rural bonds: There are two types of Bonds issued by NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development): NABARD Rural Bonds and Bhavishya Nirman Bonds (BNB). Out of these two, only NABARD Rural Bonds
qualify under section 80C.
Unit linked Insurance Plan : ULIP stands for Unit linked Saving Schemes. ULIPs cover Life insurance with benefits of
equity investments.They have attracted the attention of investors and tax-savers not only because they help us save tax but
they also perform well to give decent returns in the long-term.
2 of 35 7/17/2010 11:41 PM
Others: Apart form the major avenues listed above, there are some other things, like children’s education expense (for
which you need receipts), that can be claimed as deductions under Sec 80C.
So, where should you invest?
Like most other things in personal finance, the answer varies from person to person. But the following can be the broad
principles:
Provident Fund: This is deducted compulsorily, and there is no running away from it! So, this has to be the first. Also, apart
from saving tax now, it builds a long term, tax-free retirement corpus for you.
Home Loan Principal: If you are paying the EMI for a home loan, this one is automatic too! So, it comes as a close second.
Life Insurance Premiums: Every earning person having dependents should have adequate life insurance coverage. (For
more on this, please read “Life after life – Why you should buy Life Insurance”) Therefore, life insurance premium
payments are the next.
Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) / Public Provident Fund (PPF): If you think that the PF being deducted from your
salary is not enough, you should invest some more in VPF, or in PPF.
Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS): After the above, if you have not reached the limit of Rs. 1,00,000, then you
should invest the remaining amount in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS).
Equities provide the best, inflation-beating return in the long term, and should be a part of everyone’s portfolio. After all,
what can be better than something that gives great return and helps save tax at the same time?
When to Invest?
Many of us start looking for investment avenues only in February or March, just before the Financial Year is getting over.
This is a big mistake! One, you would end up investing your money without putting proper thought to it. And secondly, you
would end up losing the interest / appreciation for the whole year. Instead, decide where you want to make the investments,
and start investing right from the beginning of the financial year – from April. This way, you would not only make informed
decisions, but would also earn the interest for the full year from April to March.

Currently I have paid 105000 as principal amount for the housing loan.I was told that there is a limit of 20000 on
principal amount repayed on housing loan for tax rebate (sec 80C). that means although I have paid 105000, only
20000 will be considered as part of the 1 lakh limit. So does it mean that I still have to show savings proofs for 80000?
Thanks in advance
13 of 35 7/17/2010 11:41 PM
If you have housing loan too then you need to file ITR-2 otherwise you can file your return in ITR-1.
There is no such limit of 20000 in section 80C. you can claim deduction of Rs. 1,00,000 under section 80C in respect
of principal payment towards housing loan.
Such limit was earlier there when we use to claim deduction under section 88.
71. Mohit Kumar Jain Says:
While employer’s contribution is exempt from tax, your contribution (i.e., employee’s contribution) is counted towards
section 80C investments. You also have the option to contribute additional amounts through voluntary contributions
(VPF). Current rate of interest is 8.5% per annum (p.a.) and is tax-free.
I think that the tax free interest rate is 9.5% instead of 8.5%

To the administrator, or any reader, of this forum…
1) For a “non-resident Indian”, who has made short term capital gains from sale of equity shares of Indian companies
through SEs in India (and that is the only Indian income coming within the purview of Indian taxes) and who would
like to file tax return in India, is the benefit of 80c available? i.e. can he invest upto Rs.1 lakh in ELSS and get
exemption from payment of tax on that part of the total income (in this particular case, only short term capital gains)
earned?.
2) Would a non-resident Indian who is a senior citizen, and seeks to file tax return in India, get the benefit of the more
liberal slabs for tax calc?
Thank you for your time.

i have purchased a residential land for which i have paid Rs 90000/- as a stamp duty. under sec 80c can i claim
deduction on this amount?
112. CA. Ritesh Jain Says:
Deepak,
The amount you pay as stamp duty when you buy a house, and the amount you pay for the registration of the
documents of the house can be claimed as deduction under section 80C in the year of purchase of the house. But make
a note over here that it is subject to a maximum deduction of Rs. 100000.
Jeet,
As u have mentioned that u had set up a warehouse & let on lease to someone.
But here u have to make clear firstly that whether you have started a new business of lease or u are having a old
business of lease. Than only we can decide about claiming the deduction under 35D of the act.
And as it is clearly evident from the section 35D which read as under.
35AD. (1) An assessee shall be allowed a deduction in respect of the whole of any
expenditure of capital nature incurred, wholly and exclusively, for the
purposes of any specified business carried on by him during the previous year in
which such expenditure is incurred by him :
Provided that the expenditure incurred, wholly and exclusively, for the purposes
of any specified business, shall be allowed as deduction during the previous year
in which he commences operations of his specified business, if—
(a) the expenditure is incurred prior to the commencement of its operations;
and
(b) the amount is capitalised in the books of account of the assessee on the
date of commencement of its operations.
And note also here that if you once claim deduction under this section than you will not be able to claim deduction
under any other provisions of the act and in any other previous year..
for ex. depreciation..

Hello!
I have booked a underconstruction flat in Sept-2009 in Mumbai and done stampduty, registration (Rs.3,50,000) on Jan
– 2010 possession expected in year 2011
Can I claim payment of stamp duty & Reg Charges payment u/s 80 C in F.Y 2009-2010, even though I have not
received the possession?
Some one told me that you will not get any benefit u/s 80C, since you do not have possession
Thanks

My annual income is Rs. 2,16,000. And I don’t have any investments so far except for a personal loan from HDFC
bank for Rs. 1,17,000; and my child’s education fees. According to the slab I have to pay 10%, i.e. Rs. 21,600/yr as
tax. What are the best investments that I can have to save this amount? I am interested in Life Insurance/ NSC/ ULIP.
How much do I have to invest as a whole or which investment gives me the best benefit to save this tax amount?
I am an amateur in this field so kindly advice.
Looking eagerly to hear from you soon.
Anoop S.

2) Last December I have taken another loan to purchase a Flat which will be registered on my name in the coming
month.
For both the cases EMI had started. Shall I get tax benefit on Principal and Interest amount paid, for last F.Y ? pls
reply.
Thank you Sir.
