Types of Income Tax Exemption Certificates:

1.Section 10 Exemptions:
    Under Section 10 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (India), certain categories of income are exempt from income tax. These include:
  • Income from agricultural activities.
  • Income from specified charitable activities.
  • Income from investments in certain bonds or securities, such as notified infrastructure bonds.
2.Section 80 Exemptions:
  • Section 80 of the Income Tax Act allows deductions from taxable income for specified investments, expenses, or donations. While not a traditional exemption certificate, claiming deductions under Section 80 reduces taxable income effectively providing tax relief.
