What is Section 80TTA? Under the Income Tax Act of India, the Indian taxpayer is granted several deductions to reduce his tax liability and thus reduce his tax expense. These deductions may be based on wages, investments or payments.
Therefore,
In other words, under section 80TTA of the Income Tax Act, tax credits are available to eligible taxpayers on interest earned in a savings account. The savings account in question may exist at a bank, cooperative, or post office.
However,
Section 80TTA became part of the Treasury Act in 2013 and has provided benefits to many taxpayers ever since.
Therefore, Let’s take a look at the conditions that apply to using the benefits of Section 80TTA.
Deduction applicable under Section 80TTA – Terms and Conditions
The terms and conditions applicable to tax credits under section 80TTA are listed below:
For instance, up to INR 10,000 deducted annually on interest earned on savings accounts.
Deductions may be claimed by Hindu Indivisible Persons and Families (HUF).
Above all,
If an entity has more than one savings account with multiple banks, the combined interest income of all accounts must be less than INR 10,000 in order to benefit from the deductions.
In addition, If the accrued interest income in the above case exceeds the limit of INR 10,000, INR 10,000 tax exemption can be requested and the remaining amount will be subject to tax.

After that, under the Income Tax Act, deductions under section 80TTA may be claimed for:
Taxpayers categorized as individuals or undivided Hindu families (HUF)
