The tribunal affirmed lower authorities' rejection of the claim. Conversely, ITAT directed the AO to allow deduction under s.80C upon verification of the produced LIC premium receipt, ordering grant of the 80C claim accordingly and treating that ground as allowed for statistical purposes. The decision leaves the s.54F disallowance intact and mandates ministerial compliance by the AO regarding the 80C deduction. en-us Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:47:01 +0530 Thu, 06 Nov 2025 08:47:02 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93914 ITAT upheld denial of deduction under s.54F for sums expended after acquisition of the dwelling, concluding such outlays constituted post-purchase renovation/modification and thus do not qualify as purchase of a new residential unit for s.54F relief.
