NSC interest under 80C

yes you can claim deduction for interest from NSC.But there is not  any benefit bcoz once you will add interest in your income then you will claim deduction u/s 80c...........

over all limit of 80c is 1 lac

Yes you claim the accrued interest on NSC for first five years under 80C. The limit U/s 80C is 1 lakh.

Yes, I agree with both the guys  Md.Mosharraf Ali Raza  CA JAIMIN TRIVEDI, First you have to declare accrued NSC Interest in 'Income from other sources' Head, then you have to claim deduction the same amount  u/s 80c (upto Rs 1 lac).  the effect will be nullified.

well said by indu  

yes the limit is 100000

The interest accrued on NSCs is deemed to be reinvested in NSCs and as such the investment in NSCs is elegible for deduction upto the overall limit of Rs.100000/-

YES,AHUJA SIR IS RIGHT.

Perfect reply by Indu...
