- 2. For purpose of tax savings, earlier u had complete investment in specific instruments till 31st March for it to be considered
- 3. This date is extended till 30June
Everything else is same
Does that mean Dividend recd till 30th Jun will be non-taxable in Individual’s hands and will be taxed?
Ans. No, Dividends only till 31st March are tax-free in ur hands. Pls refer to above guideliness for guiding principles
I invest in the start of FY in tax savings. Now investment till June 30 (major chunk) will be treated in this FY. Does it mean I have to compensate that in next FY ?

Want to invest in tax saving ELSS in April for FY21. Possible right? Hv made full contribution to FY19-20. But want to make an early contribution for FY 20-21
Ans: Yes. Any investment from Apr-June20, u just need to self declare if it is for FY20 or FY21
It means people who have invested 1.50 Lac during every opening of FY can not invest from Apr to June-2020?
By any mode, online or offline?

So, if we can make investment in PPF until 30th June 2020 that will count for 2019-20 and PPF remains active? Asking because I was thinking of investing in last week of March to PPF.
Ans: YES, that is correct
The revenue/income will also be incorporated as the timeline is extended till 30th June, I.e for 15 months ????
Ans: No. Income only from Apr 2019 to March 2020 is to be considered for Income Tax fililng. No change in this.
So if I invest 1.5 L in ELSS on April 1, I can claim it under 80-C for FY 20-21. But I can also claim it under FY 19-20. Will that not create confusion and some people may potentially claim exemption in both years.
Ans: Be ready for scrutiny if u mis-use
