Tuition Fees 80 C Deduction

This discussion clarifies whether fees paid for online classes, particularly for competitive examinations, can be claimed as a deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is that only tuition fees paid for children's education at recognised institutions (schools, universities, colleges) are eligible. Fees paid to private coaching institutes or for the taxpayer's own online courses are generally not allowed as a deduction under this section.
