Section 80E

-

 Section 80E of the Income Tax Act, 1961, provides provisions for deductions available to individuals for the interest paid on education loans taken for higher education. Here's an overview of the key points related to deductions under Section 80E:


Eligibility Criteria: The deduction under Section 80E is available to individuals, including both residents and non-residents, for the interest paid on loans taken for higher education.


Purpose of Loan: The education loan must be taken for the purpose of pursuing higher education for the taxpayer, spouse, children, or for a student for whom the individual is the legal guardian.


Qualifying Courses: The loan must be taken for pursuing full-time courses, including graduate or post-graduate courses in engineering, medicine, management, applied sciences, pure sciences, or any other technical field.


Duration of Deduction: The deduction is available for a maximum of eight consecutive assessment years, starting from the year in which the individual starts repaying the interest on the education loan or until the interest is fully repaid, whichever is earlier.


Amount of Deduction: There is no limit on the amount of deduction under Section 80E. Taxpayers can claim the entire amount of interest paid during the financial year as a deduction from their total income. However, the deduction is only available for the interest component of the EMI, not for the principal repayment.


Loan from Specified Financial Institutions: The education loan must be taken from specified financial institutions, including banks, financial institutions, or approved charitable institutions.


No Double Deduction: The deduction under Section 80E cannot be claimed along with any other deduction under the Income Tax Act, including deductions for interest on housing loans or any other education-related deduction.


Mode of Payment: The interest paid on the education loan can be claimed as a deduction regardless of the mode of payment, whether paid through cash, cheque, online transfer, or any other means.


It's important for taxpayers to maintain proper documentation of the education loan, including loan agreement, repayment schedule, and interest payment receipts, as these documents will be required during tax filing to claim deductions under Section 80E. Additionally, taxpayers should ensure compliance with the terms and conditions specified under this section of the Income Tax Act.

Browser cache weakness

    Browser cache weakness Severity: Medium Vulnerability description Browsers can store information for purposes of caching and history. Caching is used to improve performance, so that previously displayed information doesn’t need to be downloaded again. History mechanisms are used for user convenience, so the user can see exactly what they saw at the time when the resource was retrieved. If sensitive information is displayed to the user (such as their address, credit card details, Social Security Number, or username), then this information could be stored for purposes of caching or history, and therefore retrievable through examining the browser’s cache or by simply pressing the browser’s Back button. Impact Browsers often store information in a client-side cache, which can leave behind sensitive information for other users to find and exploit, such as passwords or credit card numbers. The locations at most risk include public terminals, such as those in libraries and Inte
