26 January 2012 The total amount that they can deposit in the account is Rs. 1 lac in each of the four account so totaling to Rs. 4 lac they can deposit...but since the children are minor and return of Income is being filed only for two of the assessee namely father and mother hence they can get the maxium deduction of Rs. 1 lac u/s 80C and hence totaling to rs. 2 lac...and the entire amount that ypu receive on maturity is exempt...
