Tuition fees under section 80c

Mr. Vikas,

Yes, tution fees paid to FIITJEE etc can be claimed u/s 80C.

But as per my opinion, No deduction available for fees paid for private tuition’s , coaching courses for admission in professional courses or any other type of courses are not covered as that fee is not paid for FULL time education.

Acadmic Fee is included u/s 80c.

DEDUCTIONS FOR TUITION FEES

s tuition fees (excluding any payment towards any development fees or donation or payment of similar nature), whether at the time of admission or thereafter,—

(a) to any university, college, school or other educational institution situated within India;

(b) for the purpose of full-time education of any of the persons specified in sub-section (4

SO FITJEE IS NOT FULL TIME EDUCATION, HENCE IT CANNOT BE CLAIMED.  IT IS A COACHING INSTITUTE.

Thanks Mr. Vinod, Similar is the case for NIIT comupter course. The tuition fee paid to NIIT for one year course is also not admisible for dedcution under Section 80C.

Is it not injustice on the Government to club school tuition fees in Sec 80C and keep it within the overall exemption limit? 

They could have kept a separate Sec outside the limit for Sec 80C. Too much has been stuffed into Sec 80C with too small a limit.
