80TTB


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the 80TTB deduction for senior citizens when business losses reduce their gross total income. The key question is whether the full Rs. 50,000 deduction is available or limited by the reduced income. The consensus is that the 80TTB deduction is capped by the actual gross total income after set-off, meaning the deduction cannot exceed Rs. 21,165 in this specific case, as per Section 80A(2).

20 October 2021 Assessee a senior citizen having business loss of Rs.1,78,287/- which is getting set off against Income from Other sources of Rs.1,99,452/-
From income from other sources interest on f d is Rs.91,855/- which qualifies for deduction u/s 80TTB

My question is deduction u/s 80TTB will be available for Rs.50,000/- or Rs.21,165/- (199452-178287)
Income tax online utility computes deduction at Rs.50,000/-

20 October 2021 Deduction u/s 80TTB will be available Rs.21, 165/-
The utility calculates both eligibility and availability.

21 October 2021 Since the 'gross total income' is Rs.21,165/-, deduction under 80TTB will be limited to Rs. 21,165/- per section 80 A(2).
