The IT deductions are available in Chapter VI A of The Income Tax Act. These are certain Deductions which need to be made from Gross total Income to arrive at the Total Income.
For Salaries No standard deduction is available from 2006-07 onwards. However under section 24 for Income from House Property standard deuction is available @ 30 % irrespective of any expenditure incurred. However no standard deduction is available for one self occupied property and property mentioned in sec 23(2)(b)
