Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies when you can claim tax benefits for investments made under Section 80C. Investments made on or after April 1st, 2020, generally fall under the Financial Year 2020-21. While some deadlines were extended to June 30th, 2020, these extensions primarily applied to the Financial Year 2019-20 for specific circumstances. For investments made from April 1st, 2020 onwards, you will claim the benefit in the relevant subsequent financial year.

The beginning of the fiscal year (2020-21) would begin normally on April 1
so if u invest after that it will include in 2020-21

Mr ravinder, the due dates which falls up-to 29th June has been extended to 30th June. for tax savings under 80c, the due date which falls in March and due to lock down which is unable to invested within the due date, is extended to June and the same can be claimed for f. y. 2019-20. but if the due date itself falls after March (investments), then the same has to be claimed for f. y 2020-21

@ Mr Ravindar.,

No more extension for the FY 19-20. It's also same as every period from April to March. The FY 19-20 is 01/04/2019 to 31/03/2020.

The news is fake. There is a clarification press release from Ministry of Finance...
