Need help with my income tax savings

as the data is related to previous year, get form 16 from employer, he has made deduction of tax appropriately, you have to just follow the same.

Dear Saneesh, given below is the calculation of your taxable salary.

the medical allowance & conveyance allowance would be exempt to the extent specified.  You could also save tax on the following:

1}. You are receiving HRA, so if you are staying in a rented house you can claim exemption for the Rent paid. HRA is calculated by taking 40% of the basic salary, HRA received & rent paid in excess of 10% of Basic Salary. From these three the least amount is exempt from the HRA received.

2]. You have taken education loan. So the total interst paid on this loan during the previous year will be deducted u/s 80E from your taxable income. please take a certificate from the  bank for the  interst paid by you.

3]. Is the medical insurance mentioend is paid by you or by the company. If it is paid by you then you would get deduction u/s 80D to the amount paid subject to limit of Rs 15k.

4]. You would also get the deduction for the PF deducted by the empoyer from your salary. This figure would be available in your Form16.

Are there any other investments made by you such as investments in PPF, FD, ULIP.  You would also get a deduction subject to an overall limit of Rs 1lacs u/s 80C.
