Good morning Sir.... I have a query plz solve it.
in my return of income my total income income from other sources is.4616
Break up details are Int from savings a/c 10496 int from bonds(nsc) 9940 int from parties 41367 (less). int paid 53373 bank charges 1567 filing fee 2247
Net amount.......4616
but in notice u/s143(1) the have given only 4616 credit u/s 80TTA

that is because deduction cannot exceed the taxable income...here your taxable income from other sources is only Rs 4616. So how will deduction exceed this amount?

but 80TTA doesn't apply to those incomes right?
See what has happened here. other than saving a/c interest, you earned Rs 51307. Against this you claimed expense of Rs 57187 thus earning a loss of Rs 5880 which you set off against the saving interest. So you already. reduced your taxable income by that extent. What you are looking for is double deduction.

see the rule is simple...amount of deduction cannot exceed the amount of relevant taxable income. here your taxable income is Rs 4616. so deduction cannot exceed it. ..plain and simple..
For all practical purposes you have already claimed deduction by way of Rs 5880 adjustment against the interest income
