Quick answer

This page is section 80C. The rebate stays on the section 87A page. The regime choice stays on the slabs page. Do not send the income-tax password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the filing table states

On the old regime, section 80C deductions for LIC, PPF, ELSS, and tuition fee are allowed up to ₹1,50,000. On the new regime they are not allowed. The new regime is the default under section 115BAC. You choose before the return is filed.

The income tax calculator calls that a usual cap of ₹1.5 lakh, old regime only, and only where that section fits. Home-loan principal may qualify under section 80C, up to ₹1.5 lakh, only where that section applies. Interest under section 24(b) is a different row on the income-tax filing page.

What it is not

Section 80D medical insurance, 80G donations, and NPS under section 80CCD(1B) are separate proofs on the filing page. This page does not state their limits. Employer NPS under section 80CCD(2) is a different row on that table. The section 87A rebate is not this deduction.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send the investment proofs you can evidence, and say which regime you want compared.
  2. The desk says whether those proofs fit section 80C.
  3. You choose before the return is filed, and you approve the draft. Filing stays on the income-tax filing page.
  4. You complete e-verification yourself. That step is on the e-verification page.

After the return is filed, e-verify within 30 days. The return is quoted before it is filed. The first discussion is free.
