3. Investment for Tax Saving for Financial Year 2018-19:

For taking tax-saving benefits, you need to invest in ELSS or NPS. Due to COVID 19, the Last date of Investment is extended from 31st arch 2020 to 30th June 2020.

If you have not made any Investment for tax saving, you still have time till 3oth June 2020.

You can invest in Mutual Fund (Equity Linked Saving Scheme- ELSS) up to 1,50,00/- u/s 8C of Income Tax Act, 1961 for saving tax. Also, you can also invest in NPS up-to 50,000/- u/s 80CCD(1B) of Income Tax Act, 1961 for saving tax.

You can take benefit of Investment made from 01.04.2020 to 30.06.2020 for the Financial year 2019-20 or Financial Year 2020-21 depending on your case.

If you can doubt or need further detail then you can reach out to me at brijlavaniya@yahoo.com or you can also message me on my WhatsApp Number 88798820205.
