Dear sir, My 7 years daughter has RD account (minor a/c.through father) of Rs.2000.00 per month in post office. Now it is matured & I received amount of Rs.145, 000.00 (120000+25000 interest) in my name. . I want to re-invest the full amount in NSC in my daughter’s name.
1. Can I take benefit of re investment of amount in NSC in my daughter'sname under 80 C? Thanks, Sandeep

1. Rs 25000/ Interest has to be shown in your income in the year of receipt if interest earlier has not been shown on accrual basis on the RD. You can claim exemption U/s 10(32) of Rs 1500/.
2. For getting deduction U/s 80C you have to purchase the NSCs in your name only. If you invest in daughter's name you will not get deduction U/s 80C.
