Deduction u/s 80 C for PPF interest

For claiming deduction u/s 80C for contribution to PPF/NSC etc there is no condition let down that the contribution should be out of assessee's Income Chargeable to tax. If so in my opinion amount of interest credited to assessee's PPF account should be eligible for deduction u/s 80C.Please provide you views on this.

interest on ppf is totally exempt & does not qualify for deduction.

interest on NSC accrues early but deemed to be invested for first 5 years & qualifies for deduction u/s 80C. that means int. firesty will be added to GTI & then claims for deduction.

refer: GIRISH  AHUJA's book

 

Dear Gaurav

You are absolutely correct.

 

TO AVOID DISPUTES BETTER WITHDRAW FROM PPF  (AS PERMISSIBLE)  AND REINVEST

sampat sir

i think so we r not allowed to withdrew any amt from ppf up to a time.

No u r wrong. Interest on PPF is fully exempt in the hands of receiver. So how can u claim a deduction u/s 80c of the amount which is already exempt. So no deduction ..

guys,

interest earned in PPF a/c is fully exempt and one cannot withdraw the amount from PPF a/c till 7 years and even upto 50% only, and that too as a loan against your deposit. the whole amount can be withdrawn only after 15 years......

intrest for ppf u/s 80c is fully exempt from income tax but the intrest of NSC is in a sense is also exempted from tax since it is first added to income u/h other sources and then deducted from GTI.
