17 January 2023 If the FD is issued only in your name, he cannot claim any exemption u/s. 80C of the act...

18 January 2023 If primary account holder of FD is your son, he can claim the exemption...
If not, check with bank for deletion of your name from the FD...

18 January 2023 Yes primary account holder is my son. So my name on the certificate makes my son to claim exemption although my sons name is not mentioned on the certificate

18 January 2023 My dear, I state again that the primary holder in the FD certificate should be your son to claim the exemption... and not the savings account...

18 January 2023 The benefit of sec. 80C is available to primary holder of Fd Certificate. The fd receipt once created for claiming exemption under sec. 80C, it can not be premature. However in your case bank might change the primary and secondary holder only. Contact Bank authorities.
