07 August 2024 I have a Total Gross Income of 7,69,882? After claiming standard deduction (50k) & professional tax (2.4k) .... Along with 80C (1.5 Lakhs), 80CCD(1B) 50k .... Taxable Income comes to 5,16,882. I am filing ITR for FY 23-24 so no option to invest or something. So what are my options to make it below 5 lakh. After some research I found somethings that are applicable to me but not sure whether i can claim them. Any suggestions would be helpful:

1.> 80D we can claim preventive health checkup upto 5000 that is done in cash. Also I have a health insurance of 1999 so that makes it 6999. But for 5000 can i claim without any receipt? For 1999 I got receipt. Or if not 7000 can i claim a total of 5000(1999 + 3000) though for 300p also i don't have receipt.

2.> Food coupon/ allowance can be claimed under 10(14) (i) upto 26,400. But my employer deducts the food contribution from salary shown in payslip. So can I claim this ? Total amount is 10000

3.>. Also we can claim Internet Allowance under 10(14) (ii) but my employer gives internet allowance named as Other Allowance in payslip. So can I claim that . Its total 6000. Also I donot have bills of broadband.

Please suggest if I can claim any of the 3 mentioned or anything other than theses that i can claim
