Income tax rules not restricted any class. ask your clerk where it is written? you are eligible to get deduction.

AI Summary

Tuition fee deduction: eligibility not limited by class, taxpayers may claim under relevant tax provision. Whether tuition fees for particular classes are eligible for deduction under Section 80C was questioned after a clerk refused receipts for classes one through ten. The reply states income tax rules do not impose a class-based restriction, so taxpayers are eligible to claim tuition fee deductions and clerical refusal reflects misapplication of the rule.
