About This Tool

The Section 80C Investment Planner helps you maximise your tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The maximum deduction under Section 80C (combined with 80CCC and 80CCD(1)) is ₹1,50,000 per financial year under the old tax regime. This tool helps you plan investments across PPF, ELSS, NSC, LIC premium, home loan principal repayment, and children's tuition fees to fully utilise this limit.

How to Use

  1. Enter existing 80C investments already made (LIC premium paid, EPF deducted from salary, etc.).
  2. Add planned investments: PPF, ELSS, NSC, tax-saving FD, ULIP, or Sukanya Samriddhi.
  3. The planner shows your running total against the ₹1,50,000 limit.
  4. It highlights remaining capacity so you know exactly how much more to invest before 31 March.
  5. Use the result to decide the best allocation across instruments before the financial year ends.
