You can claim deduction u/s 80C for tuition fees paid. Fees paid excluding any payment towards development fees, donation, hostel fees, security deposit or payment of similar nature is allowed for deduction.

Sir,

Thanks for prompt reply.

I understand, I can claim Rs 40000 (Education fee)+Rs 5000 (One time admission fee u/s 80C. i.e. total Rs 45000/- only. In one of previous queries, you had mentioned that admission fee can also be claimed u/s 80C. Pl confirm.
