10 January 2020 My wife is a homemaker, we have two daughter’s, for whom we have opened the Sukanya account. Both accounts are in the name of my wife.
Every month I transfer the amount to my wife’s account through Fund Transfer from my salary account from where it gets deducted for the Sukanya accounts.
Can I claim the deduction under 80C in this case while filling my return.

11 January 2020 No, because u are not depositing to Sukanya accounts.


11 January 2020 YOUE WIFE CAN CLAIM IT.
