TermDeposits with a holding period of atleast 5 years with schedule banks can be claimed u/s 80C.
if you withdraw it before the expiry of 5 years, then it will be taxable in the year in which it is withdrawn
Term deposit for five years does not automatical;ly covered under sec 80C, in order to get benefit of 80C on term deposit, FD should be a tax savings FD and you can not premature the same, for your kind information Tax savings FD bearing lower rate of interest in comparision to normal FD.
Agreed with the Pradip sir
Deposit in Normal FDR is not eligible for deduction u/s 80C. You will have to deposit the amount in 'Tax Saver Fixed Deposit Scheme' to avail the deduction under the section.
Fixed Deposits with specified schedule banks , notified only eligible for deduction 80C.
i forgot to mention that
