statutory deduction, Deduction under Chapter VIA - 80C.
15. In the year 2020, the assessee took a personal loan and invested the money in the National
Savings Certificate. Since he did not make this investment from his taxable income, he did not claim
tax deduction under section 80C. In the subsequent years, interest income accrued on the NSC would
form part of "income from other sources". Your client seeks your advice as to whether he can claim
deduction for the interest accrued, which will be invested every year for the next five years. How
should NSCs received as a gift be treated? Advise.

subsequently died before the wealth tax officer completed the assessment. The wealth tax officer
took the value of the property as on the date of filing the return and imposed penalty on various
counts. Since the assessee is no more at the time of completing the assessment, the wealth tax
officer issued the order and the demand notice on the legal representatives of the deceased
assessee. Defend the case as counsel for the legal representatives of the deceased assessee.
