13 July 2023 Under new tax regime also , the post office savings account interest is excempt u/S 10.15.1 for Rs.3500 or Rs.7000.

it is possible to enter/add in ITR1/ITR2, under new tax regime, under income from other sources, under exempt amount from income under any other category to report only.
But system is not taking for calculations this amount .
Pl kindly clarify how to claim this ?

14 July 2023 Sir, I have declared in this schedule only . But system is taking this as " only reporting purpose " and the amount is not deducted from the taxable income. I Have clearly mentioned in my query itself. That is the issue. I have checked in online ITR-1, offline excel ITR-1 utility version 1.1 and Desktop offline utility version 1.3( the latest version) . Pl check and give your reply/solution. Thanks.

14 July 2023 You have to report the amount only in Schedule EI, and deduct the amount from Schedule OS, if already reported. No need to declare the amount at both places.
