I am asking about senior citizen savings scheme of post office - a family member who is 68 years old has invested about 5 lac this year in this scheme but now post office agent and one accountant says this scheme is not eligible for 80c tax benefit which says up to 1.5 lac deduction ...am confused...majority of internet websites say - it is eligible for 80 c tax savings.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the Post Office Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) is eligible for the Section 80C tax deduction. While the interest earned is taxable, the principal amount invested in the SCSS does qualify for the deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh under Section 80C.
