Quick Summary
The 80TTA deduction for interest earned on savings accounts is currently disabled in the new tax regime for AY 2024-25. To claim this deduction, you must file your Income Tax Return (ITR) under the old tax regime. Ensure you declare your savings account interest under 'Income from Other Sources' first, and then claim the deduction. Remember, the deduction is capped at Rs. 10,000.
You can either try the new version of the income tax utility or use a single checkbox for the deduction you're claiming on the initial pages. This will be displayed only if you file your ITR under the old tax regime with interest income from bank in other sources.
in new tax regime, there is only interest amount to be entered in other source income but not deductable due to new tax regime scheme, hence no any 80TTA limit question arise.
