Scope of income tax rebate:
If you are an income tax payer, you might be looking for sources where you can invest and get tax rebate at the same time. NSC is here for you. It comes under section 80C of IT Act. Your NSC deposits qualify for tax rebate, but don’t forget to calculate the total amount of your 80C investments. As per 80C, you can only invest a maximum of Rs. 1,50,000/-.
Transfer of NSC from one person to another:
Yes, this is possible. NSC after opening can be transferred to another person only once from the date of opening to the date of maturity. In this case, the old name will be rounded up by the post office and the new holder name will be written on the passbook while following other procedures and formalities.
