Tax free bonds being issued by IIFCL, HUDCO, NTPC, REC, etc. only are exempt for the purpose of taxation. There is no exemption or deduction available from total income for investment in the same.
Can you please correct me if I am wrong on the below statement.
If I purchase a bond worth 10000 from IIFCL or HUDCO and receives interest worth 800 pa, then I will get 800 exempted for Tax calculation and 10000 will be exempted from taxable income.

Interest on tax free bonds of Rs. 800 would not be taxable as the same being exempt. However no other deduction is available from taxable income in respect of investment made in tax free bonds.
