15 February 2011 I have purchase a Flat (in Resale) in F. Y. 2010-11 and paid stamp duty & registration fees Rs. 85,000 approx. I want to know whether I can claim this amount as Tax exemption for this year???? If yes, in which section??

15 February 2011 The amount you pay as stamp duty when you buy a house, and the amount you pay for the registration of the documents of the house can be claimed as deduction under section 80C in the year of purchase of the house.
