Mr.Suchit Shah
Mr.Vijay Bhaker Kondapally's question is-
" A Government Employees salary is computed from 1st march to 28th feb of the suceeding year. whether investment made u/s 80 C on 15 march 2012 is eligible for deduction in the financial year 2011-12 or 2012-13."
Now please think of the previous year of the employee mentioned by Mr.Vijay Bhasker - the year starts from March of the earlier financial year and ends with February of current Fianancial Year.
Please read caresfully it is not the financial year starting from April and ending with March.
Now read section 80C
"80C(1) Incomputing the total income of an assessee, being an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family, there shall be deducted, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this section, the whole of the amount paid or deposited in the previous year, being the aggregate of the sums referred to in sub-section (2), as does not exceed one lakh rupees."
The assessee's previous year as per the question of Mr.Vijay Bhaker ends with February of the current Financial Year. The assessee has paid/deposited the investment in the month of March of current Financial Year which does not include in the previous year of the assessee of Mr.Vijaya Bhaker. This month of March will be the starting month of the next previous in the case of this pecular assessee of Mr. Vijaya Bhasker.
Section 80C(1) speaks of deduction for the amounts paid/deposited in the previous year.
I hope I have made the matter explicit and all of you have come to know the pecularity of the case presented by Mr.Vijay Bhaker.
I heartily congratulate Mr.Vijay Bhasker.
Best Wishes
Sathikonda
