Deduction under section 80C and tax planning

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. Interest on PPF  is proposed to increase to 8.60% and Investment Limit is also expected to increase to Rs. 1,00,000/- very soon.

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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

  • CA. Ritesh Jain wrote on 6 March, 2010, 20:42

    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..

    Dear Sir,

    You have mentioned Rs.170000 as your income. However, you have not mentioned from which head the income has been earned.

    Hence, we assume that it is the income taxable (after all exemption eligible u/s10)on your hand before the deductions available under chapter VIA. Further we assume that the income mentioned by you is earned for the year 2010-11.

    Having assumed as mentioned on the para 2, You should invest at least Rs.10000/- in any of the eligible investments (NSC is one of the eligible investments) to take dedcution u/s 80C.

    Dear Madam,

    There are many kinds of investments which are eligible to be claimed u/s 80C. These include PPF, NSC, FD (for five years), LIC premuim, Housing loan principle repayment, Certain Mutual Funds…….

    Investing in PPF, NSC and FDs will get you assured, however moderate, returns and further you no need to fear for the investment is being eroded. There are lock-in period for these investments.

    Investment in Mutual fund (not all the mutual funds are eligible to be invested to claim dedcution u/s 80C. Further is worth to note that the mutual funds eligible to be invested and claimed u/s 80C used to have a lock-in period of three years)may get you a higher return than the investments such as PPF, NSC, FD etc based on which scheme and which MF you have invested. The Mutual fund scheme which yield high returns are normally invested in the equity funds and thus, needless to say, the amounts invested are exposed for being eroded.

    We strongly recommend to take advise from your CA before you invest your hard earned money.

    You have not mentioned if you are employed or carrying out your business/profession. We assume that you are employed and give the below mentioned solutions

    If the total tax payable by you for your salary income, after considering the investments you made (now) to claim dedcution u/s 80C, is LESS than the amount already deducted (as TDS) by your employer, then the excess deducted over the total tax payable can be calimed as refund from the IT Dept by filing your tax return.

    If the total tax payable by you for your salary income, after considering the investments you made to claim dedcution u/s 80C, is MORE than the amount already deducted (as TDS) by your employer, then the balance tax payable (over the TDS already deducted) will be deducted by your employer from March’11′s salary.

    c)Purchase a house and claim Repayment of house Loan=50000.(To-let the house property to claim interest portion,if it is more than Rs 150000)

My Drawing & Disbursing Offcier says that only 20% of the sum assued Or the premium amount paid , which ever is least is only eligible for tax relief under section 80C.

  • R Mahalingam wrote on 29 September, 2011, 16:41

    Hi

    The question of claiming benefit AFTER possession of the property applies only to interest. The principal paid even during construction period (including land registration charges) can be claimed in the year of payment under Sec 80C.

    The relevant sub-section under Sec 80C reads as follows (reconstructed for ease of understanding):-

    In computing the total income of an assessee, being an individual or a Hindu undivided family, there shall be deducted, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this section, the WHOLE OF THE AMOUNT PAID OR DEPOSITED IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, being the aggregate of the sums referred to in sub-section (2), as does not exceed one lakh rupees.

    (xviii) for the purposes of purchase or construction of a residential house property the income from which is chargeable to tax under the head “Income from house property”

    The words “the income from which is chargeable to tax” is misinterpreted as a pre-requisite for deduction under Sec 80C. It should be read with the following words … “under the head ‘Income from house property” so that the actual import is understood. What it implies is that the payment, if is made towards a loan taken for any non-residential property, then it is not eligible under Sec 80C.

    Hope it clears your doubt.

    Dear itsjiny, you can get extra exumption on Interest on House loan uptill Rs. 150000/- and this amount is apart from 80C’s deduction of Rs. 100000/- so overall you can get 2.5 lac exumption from this scheame.

    I purchased icici pru tax growth on 30 march 2011 from icici bank, mira road, with clear instructions that i want this for fy2011-2012, now they have completely disregarded my instructions and have given the units as of april 2012, the clerk of icici bank says his CA friend says that i can claim deductions for fy2011-2012 as the cheque given to them is dated 30.03.12 as it takes time to process , but the intention was clear for the product for the fy11-12. I need clarification for the same.

    Thanking you,

    My age is 27 yrs, If my Annual Income is 2,00,000 & I invest Rs.1,00,000 in NSC, then how much will be deducted u/s 80c ? I want to know the calculation. Will it be the whole Rs.1,00,000 to be deducted u/s 80c ? Or 20% of my Investment…? 

    Please help…Thanks

    my Salary is around 2.8 lac, how can ppf and nsc help me in tax savings.

  • RK Menon wrote on 14 May, 2012, 18:38

    Poornima: For the financial year 2012-13, you are liable to pay I.T on Rs.80000/-@10% if your salary is Rs.2.8 lacs/annum. You can invest upto Rs. 80000/- under section 80 c and avoid paying of taxes.
    Soniya: if your salary is upto Rs.200000 annually you are out of I.T for the year 2012-13.
