The self employed proprietor may further go for the deduction under section 80(G) i.e donation based section. He may also avail a deduction under section 80 (D)i.e medical claim section. If the proprietor is residing in a rented property, he may avail the deduction under section 80(GG) also i.e deduction in regards to payment of rent.

Besides deductions under chapter VIA,as suggested by other learned readers, a self employed person can also explore possibilities of further claims of deprecaition allowance of assets wholly or partly used in business ( like motor car, office space in home, office space)expenses for maintaining business assets, etc. He can also find some relief by adopting proper accounting methods of incoem and expenses. Take care of tds payments, otherwise even expenses incurred may be fully disallowed u/s 40. The period to be cosnidered is from 01.04.2009 to 31.03.2010 for computation purpsoes and not the period as stated by you.
