It is specifically stated in the act that only tution fees paid to school, University, colleges are allowed as deduction.

Any fees paid to private coaching institutes are not allowed as deduction.

Therefore fees paid by you for online classes for competitive exams are not allowed as deduction of paid to any private coaching.

THE EXEMPTION IS REGARDING CHILDREN TUTION FEES.
NOW IF MR.THAKKAR IS STUDENT THEN IT IS OK.
