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.

Answer: Assessee means both mother and father both can take the benefit u/s 80 C for amount paid by them respectively.

Dear Mr. CA Sandeep Kanoi,
I shall be very grateful to you, if you could reply on my below question.
I have been paying tution fees of my daughter in March for the Academic year 16-17. As per above we can consider this amount for tax exemption of year 16-17. Please suggest.
Dear Mr. George,
Section 80C starts : 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 1.5 lac.
Since ii is on paid basis, you will get the benefit in the year in which you pay it, so fee paid in March 2016, benefit will lapse after 31.03.2016, no benefit will be available for FY 2016-17.
Dear Sandeep
in case tution fees is paid in advance then deduction will be available on payment basis or in year of expense? e.g. Fees paid in March 2016 for FY 16-17 of Rs. 1 lacs then deduction will be allowed in FY 15-16 or FY 16-17? Please clarify.

Thanx and regards
Hi All ,
This is who ever is given comment.
Please remember if you are giving tuition fee for your child and claiming for income tax under 80c , there is catch in all these as our government is playing safe ,
1) the max limit is 1,00,000 .
Now suppose your salary is 5,00,000 per annum in which government rules on tax act 1961 says that 2.50.000 is exempted then this 1,00,000 is part of 2,50,000.
2) They are playing smart and safe that no late fees and Donation will be included means if you are paying donation say example 2,00,000 to any institute or school, your money is gone and you have to go to either ‘C’ grade school or depend to bribe the government official to get the admission as still corruption exists.
3) Now suppose you have taken the education loan and paying interest , as per the rule the Taxable is interest. but if you are taking loan then it should include the taxable income on 40% of education loan not interest. where will include the interest and loan amount .
4) Tax on education loan only covers the full tenure , but what if parttime courses there is no benefit . Suppose your Child passes the the college , maynot get selected in campus selection then he has to invest more money on part time and reach to industry level requirement so that coorporates can accept his certification related to degree. and there is no tax rebate on same.

Answer:- None of these will qualify for deduction under Section 80C of the Income-Tax Act, 1961.”
With reference to above para, I referred the Taxman’s income tax reckoner wherein u/s 80C a Note 10 with Tuition Fees says: “The amount allowable as tuition fees shall include any payment of fee to any university, college, school or other educational institution in India except the amount representing payment in the nature of development fees or donation or capitation fees or payment of similar nature.”
Can you please clarify what does the text “any payment of fee” refers to?.
Doesn’t this include payment of fee towards library, lab, computer, special classes, games, books, transport, etc.?

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.

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.

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.

Hi,
I am paying the Tuition fees for my nephew (sister’s son). Pls let me know if I can claim tax benefit against the same.
My father is a retired person (not earning), hence both my parents are dependant on me apart from a younger brother who is currently studying. I take care of all his education expenses. Can I claim his college fees as an exemption under this section? Please advise. From going through your response above I get a thought that I can claim, however would like you to confirm on the same. Thank you very much for your support.
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.

You can claim up to 1,00,000/-. So if you paid 15+9 you claim full 24 thousand.
sir, my son is a studing in a (B.Tech.) professional course in private engg. college under IP University, Dwaraka, New Delhi.
Wheather the Tax rebate can be availed under section 80C ?.
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.
My son is doing GNIIT course in NIIT and his annual fee comes to approx. 60K, out of which Rs. 20K is the tuition fee. It is a 3 year course.
My account dpt. says that the tuition fee paid to NIIT is NOT eligible for deduction under Sec.80C ..
Your confirmation will be highly appreciated.
