Section 80c

If you've claimed a deduction under Section 80C for a mutual fund investment with a lock-in period and subsequently sold it before the lock-in expires, you've likely violated the conditions. This means the earlier deduction will be withdrawn. You need to report this withdrawn deduction in your Income Tax Return (ITR) for the financial year in which you sold the fund. This amount should be added back to your income under the 'Income from other sources' head and will be taxed at your normal income tax rate.
