Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a full-time BTech student, earning income from a stipend and freelance work, can claim a deduction for their own tuition fees under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is that Section 80C specifically allows deductions for tuition fees paid for children, not for the individual's own educational expenses.

Tuition Fee for children only is allowed U/S 80C.

Tution Fees paid for self is not covered under 80C
