05-Feb-2015 , 11:03:08 amAs per Section-80C deduction is allowed for all type of fees other than development fees and donation. Further as per Circular No.17/2014 dated 10th Dec 2014 on Sec-192 of the act, "It is clarified that the amount allowable as tuition fees shall include any payment of fee to any university, college, school or other educational institution in India except the amount representing payment in the nature of development fees or donation or capitation fees or payment of similar nature." Therefore Other than development fee, all other fees are allowed under Sec-80C.

19-Feb-2015 , 10:07:29 pmonly tuition fees is applicable. but in some schools activity fees is just used as the breakup of tuition fees. computer fees is also sort of tuition fees. as per my understanding both computer fees and activity fees are sort of tuition fees and thus shall be allowed.
