Question:- Section 80C allows deduction in respect of tuition fee but excludes payments towards development fees, donations or payments of similar nature.
Does this mean that the items not specifically excluded, such as fees for games, magazines, stationery, Parents’ Teacher Association fees, Staff Benefit Fund, Gratuity Fund, and hostel will not qualify for the deduction?
Answer:- None of these will qualify for deduction under Section 80C of the Income-Tax Act, 1961.
The deduction available under this Section is for sums paid as tuition fees (excluding any payment towards any development fees or donation or payment of a similar nature) whether at the time of admission or thereafter to any university, college, school or other educational institutions within India for the purpose of full-time education of any two children of an individual. The principle requirement for qualifying for deduction under this provision would be that the fee paid should be in the nature of tuition fee. All of the items enumerated by you are essentially not in the nature of tuition fee, and so cannot qualify for deduction.
You may note that the development fee or donation or payments of a similar nature even if they are in the nature of tuition fees will not qualify for the deduction under this Section.

I want to know whether one can claim deduction of tution fees paid out of education loan taken from financial institutions, under section 80 C of I.T.Act.
More specifically, one has paid Rs. 100,000/- as tution fees partly i.e. Rs. 80,000/- from Education Loan taken from financial institution and Rs. 20,000/- out of his taxable income. My query is what is the amount which can be claimed as deduction under section 80 C towards payment of tuition fees– Rs. 100,000/- OR Rs. 20,000/- OR NO AMOUNT.
I rqt yr early reply as the f.y. is just to close.

The fees should be paid to university, college, school or other educational institution. No deduction available for fees paid for private tuition’s , coaching courses for admission in professional courses or any other type of courses are not covered under Sec-80C so fee paid to NIIT, not eligible for deduction.
Please clear my doubt. In my openion, the tution fee up to Rs. 12000/- each for two child are exempted u/sec 80C i.e. total Rs. 24000/- max. if the assesee has paid 15000/- for 1st child & 9000/- for the other, then he/she may claim only Rs. 21000/- (12000/-+9000/-)
U/sec 80 C the limit is 100000/- which include all the savings etc. but the education expense part is only 24000/-. Is it true,
please clear my doubt.

Request you to please reply.
Rgds,
Nitin
No. Rs. 900 paid towards tuition can be utilized.
Earlier under Sec 88, limit for tuition fees was there.Sec 88 is not there now. Now under Section 80C, the limit for exemption of tuition fees is within the overall limit of Rs1,00,000/ upto two children.There is no specific limit for tuition fees. Exemption not available for self, brothers or relatives.
Above gives more clarity about tax exemption for Tuition fees. I think the confusion will over on reading this. Good. Thanks also .

Dear Mr. Yogesh,
I think you can claim Admission Fees & Tuition fees (However Donation & Development charges are not covered for claim).
Ques:Ram has paid rs 36000 (rs 8000 admission fees, rs 5000 development fees rs 5000 caution money, rs 12000 annual charges and rs 6000 @rs 2000 per month for april-june 2008 fees) in dec 2008. how much he can claim reimbursement as well rebates/deductions in 2008-09 and 2009-10.
Ans:As explained above in the article, tuition fees meaning is wide in income tax as generally perceived ,so in my opinion admission fees rs 8000 ,12000 annual charges and 6000 fees is covered for claim u/s 80C .Development fees is not allowed and caution money,as it is refundable amount ,hence not allowed.You can claim the tuition fees on payment basis whether relates to this financial year ,old or coming financial year.
I think you can claim for two sons only. Third one is not allowed for you. However your spouse can claim for third one.

I am getting reimbursement of tuition fee for all my three children in terms of DOPT’s Office Memorandum No.12011/03/2008-Estt(Allowance) dated 11.11.2008 (copy enclosed) as I have twins in the second child births.
In terms of Income Tax Rules I can claim deduction under section 80C for any payment by way of tuition fees to any university, college, school or other education institution situated within India for the purpose of full-time education. However, there is a restriction on number of child i.e. maximum two children.
Normally reimbursement of tuition fee is given to elder two children only. But since I have twins in the second child births, reimbursement of tuition fee is extended to me for all three children in terms of DOPT’s Office Memorandum No.12011/03/2008-Estt(Allowance) dated 11.11.2008.
In view of the above, I request you to please seek a clarification from the Department of Income tax whether I can claim deduction under section 80C for the tuition fees paid by me for all my three children owing to the twins factor in the second child births.
