It is claimed only in the year of investment, that is under 80C. .......... 80CCG is not applicable in this case.

Yes you are right Neha, either it is 5 years FD or any Mutual Fund, you can claim deductions for both of them under Section 80C. When it comes to equity mutual fund, you can claim deductions under section 80CCG. It should be remembered that Section 80CCG is the part of Section 80C.

It should be noted here that the Section 80CCG or RGESS (rajiv Gandhi Equity Share Scheme) have been discontinued from 1st of April 2017.

So there is only option under which you can claim deductions is Section 80C. Have a look on Tax saving investments Options under Section 80C investment options:
