In short
Under India’s old tax regime, Section 80C allows deductions up to ₹1.5 lakh a year (PPF, ELSS, EPF, life-insurance premiums), Section 80D covers health-insurance premiums up to ₹25,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens), and Section 80CCD(1B) adds ₹50,000 for NPS contributions. These deductions are not available under the new tax regime. This hub details every major deduction with its limit, eligibility and proof requirements.
