sorry Archana mam section 16(I) for salaried people.. as said by Rashmi mam, you can claim deduction for professional tax paid in your p&l itself

Show your net income after deducting such tax.... if you are giving presumptive income i.e. 50% then it is assumed that same is already deducted...

No other deduction allowed...

But what about deductions under 80C and 80 G. Are they also not allowed?

chapter viA deductions will be claimed out of total income.. whereas all other expenses incurred exclusively for the purpose of business will be deemed to be claimed if you opt for 44AD
