According To My Knowledge..............
There is more bad news for taxpayers disappointed by the budget. Not only has the finance minister kept the tax-saving limit under Section 80C unchanged, but the deduction under Section 80CCF for infrastructure bonds has been removed. This will reduce the total tax saving from the current Rs 1.2 lakh to Rs 1 lakh and push up the payable tax for individuals.
In Short The benefits under this section were extended by one year in the Budget 2011 but the same has not been done in Budget. Therefore, the deduction under this section shall not be available for AY 2013-14.
Section 80CCG: Rajiv Gandhi Equity Saving Scheme (RGESS)
As per the Budget 2012 anouncements, a new scheme Rajiv Gandhi Equity Saving Scheme (RGESS) will be launched. Those investors whose annual income is less than Rs. 10 lakh can invest in this scheme up to Rs. 50,000 and get a deduction of 50% of the investment. So if you invest Rs. 50,000 (maximum amount eligible for income tax rebate is Rs. 50,000), you can claim a tax deduction of Rs. 25,000 (50% of Rs. 50,000).
