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 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.
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.

Hi,
I have a question. Under “Income form House Property” we can also show loss from house property. However, what kind of loss it is? This has been given in section 71B “Carry forward and set off of loss from house property”.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Can we show stamp duty & registration fee under “Loss from house property” Becasue I have bought a house where I paid 2.5L of stamp duty/ registration fee. However, as per information on this site, we can claim this amount under section 80C( 1L limit) so, what about rest of the amount I paid that is 1.5L? it is a loss for me.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:44 am
I bought some land. The registration charges went up to 50000. Will it be possible to show them under 80C tax savings??
February 1st, 2010 at 12:25 pm
No. Only stamp duty paid on purchase of residential property is allowable.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:15 pm
if i start repay education loan from this year, only this year interest will be exampt or till date interest will avail for exempt
February 1st, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Interest paid during the year will be allowable.
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:29 am
In reply to Mr Reddy above, it has been said that exemption for stamp duty applies only to residential property. Does it include a residential site/plot to construct a house.

February 16th, 2010 at 10:15 am
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
February 16th, 2010 at 10:17 am
If you have housing loan too then you need to file ITR-2 otherwise you can file your return in ITR-1.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:30 am
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.
February 17th, 2010 at 6:57 am
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.

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.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
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..

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.

Hi, I have an LIC which is in my name. I have paid 4 quarterly installments in the financial year 2009-2010 and I have claimed the amount for 3 installments under section 80C.I have got my form 16 as well. I would like to know whether my husband can claim the remaining amount for the 4th installment in his income tax return?

As stated under this section given below:
“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. ”
My wife was paying premium for one of the LIC policy till last year and i wish to continue from this year onwards since she has resigned and decided to be a house wife.
The organization i work had stated they will not accept this premium for 80cc deduction on my income tax since it not on my name. Please advice, If we have a document ( IT ACT / Rule) which i can provide to my company to substantiate this.

Hi,
I have a apartment under construction and it would ready in Dec 2010.
I had been paying intrest and prinicipal on it for last 5 years but since I am not having any income in India I didn’t file any returns for last 4 years.
1) Now is there a way I can file return to show the intrest paid for last 4 years and account for it as CFL ?
2) Also is there any way to get any tax benefit on principal already paid ?
3) If yes to any of the 2 above which ITR form and which area of the form shall I show intrest and principal under ?
4) If I get it registered under my brother’s name ( or add my brother’s name) now – can he claim the intrest portion for last 4 years as he has income in India.

Hi
If interest earned on my saving bank account(salary account) was 5000/- then will I have to add this in earnings and caluculate the tax accordingly.
If yes then can I revise my return for the assessment year 2008-2009 to add the earning from my saving bank account in the year 2008-2009.

My second question is can the investment made in the name of wife under section 80c can be clubbed with the investment made in the name of husband while submitting retun by husband. If the wife’s earnings are not taxable.
Is it applicable for vice versa too?
