Hi,

I have a simple question about the investment. 
Here is a scenario.

Total income: 2,00,000
No tax: 1,80,000
Balance: 20,000

If I invest this 20,000 in Share Market as a long term investment, will I have to pay 2,000 (10% of taxable income) as income tax or I can able to put this 20,000 in 80C section anywhere as an investment.

Thanks for the answer
