Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility of tuition fees for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Generally, tuition fees paid to schools and colleges for up to two children are eligible for deduction, provided the total deduction does not exceed the Rs. 1,50,000 limit. However, fees paid to coaching centres are not eligible for this deduction.

Deduction under section 80C is allowed upto maximum amount of Rs.1,50,000/-.
Therefore, full amount of tution fees will be allowable as deduction under these section of Rs.51,120/- but subject to a maximum limit of Rs.1,50,000/-.
You are allowed to take the benifit of sec 80C if you are not taking benifit under salary head.
According to me
under section 80C the deduction is for education fees
I don't think tuition fees are eligible for it..
You can claim tuition fees as deduction under section 80C if paid to school, College etc.

Tuition fees paid to coaching centres is not eligible as deduction under section 80C
