Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum investment limit under Section 80C?
The maximum limit under Section 80C is ₹1.5 Lakh per financial year. This cap aggregates deductions across multiple instruments, including PPF, Employee Provident Fund (EPF), ELSS tax-saver mutual funds, life insurance premiums, and home loan principal repayments.
Can I save tax beyond the ₹1.5 Lakh Section 80C limit?
Yes. Under Section 80CCD(1B), you can claim an additional deduction of up to ₹50,000 for voluntary contributions made to the National Pension Scheme (NPS), raising the combined tax-savings deduction limit to ₹2 Lakh.
Does the New Tax Regime allow Section 80C deductions?
No. The New Tax Regime does not allow deductions under Section 80C, Section 80D, or HRA. If you invest heavily in tax-saving instruments, you must evaluate if the Old Tax Regime yields lower net tax liability.
