13 February 2010 Dear Ramesh I think his question is for what amount he can claim 80c deduction.
In case of Mutual fund some time as per policy terms interest and divident is reinvested. as per my view in this case only premium paid by you is eligible for 80C. reinvested amount is not eligible for deduction
