How 80c planning fits into the wider plan.
Tax-saving investment planning through eligible instruments under the old tax regime.
What we look at
- The objective, time horizon and cash-flow requirement behind the decision.
- Existing investments, policies or arrangements that may overlap with this requirement.
- Risk, liquidity, costs, taxation, documentation and exit conditions where applicable.
- Whether the option strengthens the overall plan rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
- What should trigger a future review—market movement, maturity, life event, tax change or change in residential status.
How the discussion works
This sub-service is considered as part of the broader Tax-Efficient Planning conversation. The objective is to understand suitability and trade-offs before implementation, not to select solely from recent returns, headline yield or tax benefit.
Important note
For AY 2026–27, the Income Tax Department states that the combined deduction limit under Sections 80C, 80CCC and 80CCD(1) is ₹1,50,000 for taxpayers using the old tax regime. Tax laws can change, so final decisions should be verified for the relevant financial year with a qualified tax professional.
