Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the distinction between tax rebates and refunds, explaining that a rebate under Section 87A is a government-provided reduction in tax liability, not an investment-based deduction. It also addresses a user's query about a mistaken overpayment of tax and how to claim a refund for the excess amount.

You can call it as deduction as rebate u/s 87A is given by government irrespective of any investment
