Reply 80TTB is allowed/not.
The above is for FY 2019-2020.
But from FY 2020-2021, you have option to adopt old tax regime or new tax regime.

Under old , you will continue to get 80TTA / 80TTB deduction.

But under new tax regime, as per Budget 2020, you won't get any deductions including 80TTA/80TTB.
Ok, now I am clear.
