2. Expenditure on Tuition Fees



Most of the schools, colleges and universities in India have some fixed amount as tuition fees which the parents have to pay. If you are paying certain amount which is within Rs.1 lakh, you are eligible to get tax deductibles under section 80C of the Indian constitution.



Tuition fees does not include charges like development fees, donation or any other with similar nature, that is paid either at the time of admission or thereafter.



Moreover, tax benefits are only applicable if your child is studying in schools, colleges or universities that are located in India.
