Sir
It is mentioned much in media articles and books on subjects of WILL that one discretionary trust created under will of testator enjoys status of individual for purpose of computing income tax liability and thus enjoys benefits of deduction under section 80-c the way an individual assessee enjoys. In my case this claim is rejected by ITO. I request experts to let me know exact sections or provisions of Income Tax Act or rules which provide this status to a discretionary trust created by WILL.
