03 July 2012 The deduction is available only if the amount is invested in in bonds within 6 months.

The fact that the assessee had made an investment in a bank with the INTENTION to purchase the bonds is not relevant.

The fact is that the assessee has failed to invest the amount within the specified time.

Accordingly, he is NOT eligible for investment.
