Dear Mohan,

U/s 80C Deduction in respect of tuition fee is allowed only in respect of children (maximum of 2)

Hence tuition fee in respect of spouse will not be allowed as deduction.

U/s 80E interest on Loan taken for education of spouse can be claimed as deduction 

absolutely agreed with amir.

See two exemptions  are there:


One, u/s 80E. Thats for any amt. of interest on loan paid during the yr. which was taken for the higher studies of the individual, family or his relative.

 

Second, u/s 80C. Thats for the amt. of tution fee paid of the children of the individual for any education.

 

Now since, in ur case, the amount is paid of tution fees and not of interest on loan taken on tution fees, it crosses the limits of Sec.80E. and secondly u paid it for wife's studies, and not for children, it crosses limits of Sec.80C too.

 

So no exemption is available.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tution Fee paid for wife's study is not allowable as deduction u/s 80C. Tution Fee paid is exempted only for two children's.

if you pay tution fees for your children's education out side india, then such expenditure is not allowable u/s 80C as deduction.

Agree with all.....

Tution fees paid for wife does not qualify for deduction u/s 80C.........

Tution fees paid for education of the children to an institution in India (maximum 2 children) full time education....
