For tax year 2026-27, what is the aggregate ceiling on the deduction under section 123 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 for an individual who has opted out of the default regime under section 202?
₹2,00,000
₹1,00,000
₹1,50,000
₹1,40,000
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - ₹1,50,000
Section 123 allows an individual or Hindu undivided family to deduct the aggregate of the payments listed in Schedule XV, such as life-insurance premiums and provident fund deposits, up to ₹1,50,000 for the tax year. The other figures are not the section 123 ceiling.
