Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies queries regarding Tax Saver Fixed Deposits (FDs) with joint holders. It confirms that an individual can open a separate Tax Saver FD with their spouse as the primary holder, and tax benefits can be claimed based on who files the tax return and how the investment is structured. The conversation also reiterates that while you can invest more than Rs 1,50,000 in Tax Saver FDs, the maximum deduction claimable under Section 80C remains capped at Rs 1,50,000.

Yes you can invest in other tax saver fd

The maximum deduction limit available under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act 1961 is Rs. 1,50,000/- Also the combined limit of Section 80C, 80CCC and 80CCD(1) is also Rs. 1,50,000 as per the Provision of Section 80CCE of the Income Tax Act 1961.

You get maximum deduction 150000 under the Act 1961. It doesn't matter how much you invest.
