IT Deduction under Sukanya Scheme

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies who can claim the IT deduction under Section 80C for contributions to the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana.

Your wife, as the account holder, is eligible to claim the 80C deduction for these contributions.

10 January 2020 My wife is a homemaker, we have two daughter’s, for whom we have opened the Sukanya account. Both accounts are in the name of my wife.
Every month I transfer the amount to my wife’s account through Fund Transfer from my salary account from where it gets deducted for the Sukanya accounts.
Can I claim the deduction under 80C in this case while filling my return.

11 January 2020 No, because u are not depositing to Sukanya accounts.


11 January 2020 YOUE WIFE CAN CLAIM IT.
