deduction under section 80C


This query is : Resolved 

12 January 2009 WHETHER MATURITY PROCEEDS FROM INVESTMENTS IN NATIONAL SAVINGS CERTIFICATE TAXABLE?

12 January 2009 Principal is tax free.Interest is taxable either in the year of maturity or in the respective years of deposit.

13 January 2009 Interest accrued on NSCs is subject to tax on accrual basis (except in last year)

This is advantageous especially because althouth interest accrued amount is addded to Income, one can claim like amount as Deduction u/s 80C. In effect, there is no tax except in case of assessees who can afford to save in approved media upto the maximum extent by investing in LIC, PPF and ELSS etc

If interest is subjected to tax, maturity proceeds of NSCs is exempt (except last year's interest which has to be returned in the year of maturity)
