Daughter married now studying MCH for which I have paid tution fee of Rs 1.4 lakhs to govt medical College. She is 28 years.

Is this payment eligible for 80 C tution fee?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether tuition fees paid for a married daughter's higher education can be claimed under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is yes, as long as the educational institution is in India. The deduction is not restricted to dependent children only, making the payment eligible for tax relief.

Yes, you can claim a deduction u/s 80C as the payment is being made to the college situated within India and the act does not restrict the deduction for dependent children only.
