Hello, I have a query reg. a 5-yr Fixed Deposit made by me recently (i.e. in July 2010). I have invested Rs.50,000/= in a 5-year Fixed Deposit with a Tamilnadu State Govt. enterprise. Will this investment qualify for income exemption under Sec 80C for the current Financial Year i.e. for A/Y 2011-12 ? Thanks & regards, -Raju Chacko

To avail benefit under section 80C, the amount should be deposited in fixed deposit account opened as per' Bank Term deposit Scheme,2006'.
