SECTION 80TTB OF INCOME TAX

Sir, I am a senior citizen.  I am  having fixed deposits with Tamil Nadu Power Finance Corporation and receive interest income.  Am I eligible to deduction of 50000 under sec 80TTB from my interest income.  IT rule says interest income only from Banks, Post Office and Cooperative Societies.  Is it not claimed for a company deposit or a finance corporation deposits.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Section 80TTB of the Income Tax Act, specifically for senior citizens. It addresses whether interest earned from fixed deposits with companies like Tamil Nadu Power Finance Corporation is eligible for the £50,000 deduction. The consensus is that only interest from banks, post offices, and cooperative societies qualifies for this deduction under Section 80TTB, not company or finance corporation deposits.

Correct.

Company FD interest or FC deposit interest are not eligible for deduction u/s. 80TTB of IT act.

There are two sections one sec 80tta and another sec 80ttb.
sec 80tta- deduction of rs.10000 on interest on deposits.
sec 80ttb-this is also the same.
