Raising the limit for eligible deduction under Section 80C, 80CCC and 80CCD- Presently the Section 80 CCE provides for a cap of Rs. 1.50 lacs for deduction available under Section 80C, 80CCC and 80 CCD(1) taken together. The present limit of Rs. 1.50 lacs was raised from Rs. 1 lacs in the budget of 2014. The erstwhile limit of Rs. 1 lacs was fixed in 2003 for these benefits. It has been almost 14 years during which the limit has been just increased by 50% which works out to just 2.98% annually.
