02 March 2011 It was a rebate from the income tax due for an individual / HUF assessee @ 20 % on certain specified investments made by them. This section is inoperative w.e.f.1/04/2006 by virtue of the provision of The Finance Act,2005.

02 March 2011 Section 88 is now no more effective.

Housing Loan repayment qualifies for deduction U/s 80C only.

In Section 88 tax rebate was allowed. Means we have to pay lesser tax by the amount of rebate.

Whereas U/s 80C first Gross Total Income is reduced and then on such reduced amount tax is being calculated.
