02 March 2017 Exemption , deduction and rebate under income tax

02 March 2017 Exemption covered U/s 10 which is not part of taxable income.
Deduction covered U/s 80CCC-80U i.e Ch VI-A , investment/savings/re-payment/ donation etc which is deducted from gross total income to arrive at taxable income.
Rebate covered u/s 88, which is deducted from tax due.

02 March 2017 A Tax exemption is reduction from income pertaining to particular source of income for expenses incurred or investment made i.e. house rent allowance, leave travel allowance etc.

A tax deduction is also reduction from income only if specific investments made or expenditure incurred by the tax payer. Deduction under 80C, 80D, 80E example for that.

Tax rebate provided from total tax payable. Thus while deductions and exemptions are reductions from specific heads of income or Total taxable income, rebate is a reduction of total tax payable. Like Rebate under section 87A.
