29 December 2014 Banks are eligible ask the bankers about your requirement of 80C deposit they will guide you.

29 December 2014 1) P.O. 5 Year Time Deposit is eligible for deduction u/s 80C(2)(xxiv).

2) 5 years Term Deposit with scheduled bank is eligible for deduction u/s 80C(2(xxi). You should make sure that the said deposit is covered under BANK TERM DEPOSIT SCHEME,2006.

29 December 2014 thanks a lot sir 1 last question whether banks like bank of baroda, bank of india and axis bank are covered by the said scheme?

29 December 2014 Yes they are covered.

29 December 2014 All PSU banks, most of the co operative banks are covered under the definition of SCHEDUED bank.
In case of co operative banks, you need to ensure with the concerned bank if it is SCHEDULED.
