Last Date for Completing Tax-Saving Investments – FY 24-25

As the financial year 2024-25 comes to an end, it’s crucial to complete your tax-saving investments before the deadline on March 31, 2025. Taxpayers can reduce their taxable income by making eligible investments and expenses under various sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Missing this deadline could mean losing out on valuable tax benefits.

In this blog, we’ll explore different tax-saving options available to individuals and how you can maximize your deductions before the deadline.

Why is March 31, 2025, Important?

March 31st marks the end of the financial year, and any tax-saving investments or expenses made after this date will not be considered for deductions in FY 2024-25. If you haven't yet utilized the available tax benefits, now is the time to act.

Tax-Saving Investment Options

1. Section 80C – Maximum Deduction up to ₹1.5 Lakh

One of the most popular tax-saving sections, 80C, allows deductions for investments and expenses up to ₹1.5 lakh. Here are some eligible options:
✅ Employee Provident Fund (EPF)
✅ Public Provident Fund (PPF)
✅ National Savings Certificate (NSC)
✅ Tax-saving Fixed Deposits (FD) – 5-year lock-in
✅ Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) – Lock-in of 3 years
✅ Life Insurance Premiums (LIC, Term Plans, ULIPs, etc.)
✅ Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) – For girl child savings
✅ Principal Repayment of Home Loan
✅ Tuition Fees for Children

2. Section 80D – Health Insurance Premiums

You can claim tax deductions for health insurance premiums paid for yourself, your family, and parents:

  • ₹25,000 – For self, spouse, and children

  • ₹50,000 – If parents are senior citizens

  • Additional deduction of ₹5,000 for preventive health check-ups

3. Section 80E – Interest on Education Loan

If you’ve taken an education loan, the interest paid on it is fully deductible under Section 80E. There is no upper limit on the deduction, and it is applicable for a maximum of 8 years or until the loan is fully repaid, whichever is earlier.

4. Section 80CCD(1B) – Additional ₹50,000 for NPS

Apart from the ₹1.5 lakh under Section 80C, you can claim an additional ₹50,000 deduction for investments made in the National Pension System (NPS) under Section 80CCD(1B). This makes NPS a great option for retirement savings and tax benefits.

5. Other Important Tax-Saving Deductions

  • Home Loan Interest (Section 24(b)) – Deduction up to ₹2 lakh on home loan interest

  • Donations (Section 80G) – Deductions for charitable donations

  • House Rent Allowance (HRA) – If living in a rented house

  • Standard Deduction of ₹50,000 – Available for salaried and pensioned individuals

What Happens if You Miss the Deadline?

If you fail to invest before March 31, 2025, you won’t be able to claim the tax benefits for FY 2024-25. This could result in higher tax liabilities when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR).

To avoid missing out, ensure that:
✅ All investments are made before March 31, 2025
✅ Payment receipts for insurance premiums, medical expenses, and tuition fees are kept safe
✅ Home loan and education loan repayments are properly recorded
