  1. The deduction of Rs. 20,000 for investing in Infrastructure Bonds is available under section 80CCF which is over and above the combined limit of Rs. 1,00,000 available under sec. 80C+80CCC+80CCD

  2. Ramesh Mangal says:

    1 lakh limit is for 80C and its subsections. While 80D is separate.

      Thanks Ramesh!

  3. Ajay says:

    small correction

    PPF upto 70000 and not upto 70000 lakh. 🙂

    1. Manhas Nayak says:

      Thanks Very Much Manish and Ajay! 🙂

      One more clarification needed regarding the max limit…

      The 1 lakh limit, is it for Section 80 C alone or is it for 80C + 80CCC + 80D combined together? (apart from the sub limits for 80CCC and 80D)

      Thanks!
