Quick answer

This page is section 80D. LIC, PPF, ELSS, and tuition fee stay on the section 80C 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, health insurance under section 80D is allowed from ₹25,000 to ₹1,00,000. On the new regime it is not allowed. The new regime is the default under section 115BAC. You choose before the return is filed.

The table states that range. It does not say which figure applies to which person. Confirm that on the return. The income tax calculator lists section 80D as an old-regime input, and only where that section fits. The proof named on the income-tax filing page is 80D medical insurance.

What it is not

Section 80C is LIC, PPF, ELSS, and tuition fee. 80G donations and NPS under section 80CCD(1B) are separate proofs. This page does not state their limits. The disability deduction named 80U or 80DD is a different name.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send the medical-insurance proof, and say which regime you want compared.
  2. The desk says whether it fits section 80D.
  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.
