Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether payments made via cash, rather than account payee cheques, are eligible for Income Tax deductions under Chapter VI. While some deductions like those under Section 80D for mediclaim and 80C for life insurance premiums are explicitly disallowed for cash payments, others, such as interest on home loans under Section 24(b), may still be claimable based on the liability. It's crucial to check the specific rules for each individual deduction.

It is specified in each sub-section, where the cash payment is disallowed like Sec. 80D for mediclaim as well as for treatment, life insurance premium u/s. 80C, donation u/s 80G, etc. etc. along with limit of any amount that can be allowed for its deduction. So you need to check each and every deduction independently.

No 80d deduction (except for preventive health check up) can be claimed if paid in cash.

Deduction of interest u/s 24(b) is not linked with payment. That is, the deduction can be claimed in the basis of the liability. So may not be a problem I think.

Not sure about 80c.
