Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the distinction between tax deduction sections 80C and 80TTA. Section 80C relates to actual investments made in tax-saving instruments like LIC, PF, and PPF, up to a limit of ₹1,50,000. In contrast, Section 80TTA offers a deduction specifically for interest earned on savings accounts for individuals (excluding senior citizens), capped at ₹10,000, and requires no specific investment to be claimed.

What similarities you noticed between 80c and 80tta? both sections are totally different

Sec 80 C is actually investment by individuals to claim exemptions from income .
There are several tax saving instruments.
Sec 80TTA

Mr. Eswar Reddy has said in his reply.

Section 80C is investment linked scheme in which deduction can be claimed of the investments made in a FY. 

Section 80TTA provides for deduction of Saving Bank Interest irrespective of the deposit/withdrawn made during s FY.  

@ Anisha Sharma:

We can say 80C deduction for the investments made.You must spent some amount to avail deduction.




Where as 80TTA is deduction against income received..No need of making any investment to avail deduction
