Deductions

Yes, only  Bank Fixed deposits issued for a term of 5 years are eligible for deductions from gross total income under section 80C while calculating the tax liability.

yes sir is right but you need to communicate to the bank that you want tax saver FD & not the normal one.

Hi Naveen,

Just want to add what Satender Sir has rightly said that Fixed Deposit must be with a scheduled Bank.

Thank you all for the advice.
