14 July 2013 Assesse can claim deduction under section 80TTA irrespective of what Amount he claimed in 80C.

Suppose you may claim 80C ..Rs.100000

And you can also claim 80TTA upto Rs.10,000

Suppose you have interest on saving bank for Rs.15000 you need to show Rs.15000 in income from other sources out of which Rs.10000 can be claimed under section.80TTA

Thanks & regards
