30 June 2009 If school fees are paid to Private school or Trust, whether will it be allowed as deduction U/S 80C?

Is it compulsory for geeting deduction U/S 80C that the school fees must be paid to government school?

What is meant by tution fees & school fees?

Whether fees paid for coching class will be allowed as deduction?

30 June 2009 Hi,
Tution fees paid to privat school are allowed u/s. 80C. There is no need to pay tution to govt schools only to get ded u/s. 80C. Tution fee is for the year for teaching the student whereas the school fees may be of various nature. Fees paid to coaching classes will not be allowed as deduction.
