Hello Baisc is always fully taxable. As you stay in your own house ,HRA will be fully taxable in your hands. Supplymentary allowance is also fully taxable Conveyance allowance is Exempt upto Rs 800pm. Any type of reimbursement is not taxable in the hands of employee. So your total salary willbe (12500+6250+3150+1600+1500)=25000pm or Rs300000pa from this Rs 800 pm will be deducted total Rs 9600 hence balance remains Rs300000-9600= 290400 Taxable salary will be Rs 290400 from this you will get deduction under Section 80C Pf Contribution Rs 1500pm or 18000pa you can also get deduction f life insurance premium if you pay any or any other mediclaim policy(other than the above you mention) Considering that you do not have any other investments you total taxable income will be Rs290400-18000= 272400 Tax on this will be 2240pa or 2240/12 = 187 pm To save this tax you can investin life insurance
