I recently paid 1.8 lakhs rupees to pursue industry level certifications in IT sector (Vendor - RedHat).

Upgrading your skill set is one of most basic tasks but it comes with a very hefty price.

Can I claim any sort of tax benefit here?

Quick Summary
A Senior Software Engineer inquired about claiming tax benefits for a significant investment in RedHat IT certifications. The discussion suggests that as the income is primarily salary-based, claiming the certification fees as a tax deduction under the Income Tax Act is unlikely. While upskilling is crucial, direct tax relief for such professional development costs in this specific income structure appears limited.

Income composition in your case looks to be Salary income and income from other sources. No professional income.

I don't think you will be able to claim that fees for certification course under income Tax Act.

This will lead to higher pay package and increased salary income.
