Additional deduction for individuals in respect of long-term infrastructure bonds under section 80CCF of Income-tax Act
In tune with the policy thrust of promoting investment in the infrastructure sector, it is proposed to insert a new section 80CCF in the Income-tax Act to provide that subscription during the financial year 2010-11 made to long-term infrastructure bonds (as may be notified by the Central Government), to the extent of Rs. 20,000, shall be allowed as deduction in computing the income of an individual or a Hindu undivided family. This deduction will be over and above the existing overall limit of tax deduction on savings of upto Rs.1 lakh under section 80C, 80CCC and 80CCD of the Act.
This amendment is proposed to take effect from 1st April, 2011 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2011-12.
___________
The Central Government have specified bonds to be issued by (i) Industrial Finance Corporation of India; (ii) Life Insurance Corporation of India; (iii) Infrastructure Development Finance Company Limited; and (iv) a Non-Banking Finance Company classified as an infrastructure finance company by the Reserve Bank of India; as “Long-term Infrastructure Bond” for the purpose of section 80CCF of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 
Investment in these bonds up to rupees twenty thousand will be eligible for deduction from the total income of the assessee. The deduction will be in addition to the deduction of rupees one lakh allowed under sections 80C, 80CCC and 80CCD of the Act.
The tenure of the Bonds shall be a minimum of ten years with a lock-in period of five years for an investor. It will be mandatory for the subscriber to furnish permanent account number to the issuer for investment in the bonds.

The Finance Ministry has not yet finalised on the method of giving the tax exemption of Rs 20,000. It is contemplating two ways of providing the tax exemption:
1) Investment of Rs 20,000 in notified tax bonds and the interest being made taxable.
2) Investment of Rs 200,000 (Approx) and the interest earned on the bonds upto Rs 20,000 being exempt.
A lock in period of 3 years would apply to both the investments.
The second method of investment will generate more funds for the goverment (10 times!!). We should get a notification regarding this anytime.
I would like to buy infrastructure bonds to get benefit of section 80-C. Would like to know more about these bonds & also the sources where I can buy from.
Thanks & waiting to hear.
Union Govt has confirmed and President of India has approved Union Budget that an additional 20,000/- deduction will be provided over & above 1 Lakh.

if i am not wrong the interest earned on infra bond is taxable and lets think logically if we dont invest 20000 then the tax deducted will be app 2000 per yr and we get 18000 to invest in equity or if we invest in infra then after 10 yr @8% pa compounded annually you will earn app 40000 which you mite earn on FD. Am not sure how much am correct but Plz reply to this post with further addition as am a novice but somehow arrived with this logic

By not raising the threshold limit of Rs1.60 lakh for personal income tax, FM has proved beyond doubt that he is pro-rich. He could have easily adjusted it by not giving such great tax benefit to rich section like Rs50000 for taxable income above Rs8 lakh. Will he rectify the anomoly?
