The deduction under section 80CCF is allowable upto a maximum of Rs. 20000/- in the previous year as subscription to notified long-term infrastructure bonds.The deduction for the same will be available in the year of investment only.
Your query pertains to year 2012-2013 Investment or 2011-2012. From FY 12-13 onwards, Govt has taken back the 80CCF deduction of Infra bonds for INR 20,000/-. In Current year 2012-2013, Honable FM has not announced for extension of 80CCF which is expired in FY 2011-12 only.
