Quick Summary

An individual with a taxable income of £5,16,882 is seeking ways to reduce it further to below £5 lakh for the FY 23-24 tax filing. They are exploring potential deductions under Section 80D for health check-ups and insurance, and allowances like food coupons and internet allowance under Section 10(14), but are unsure about eligibility and documentation requirements. They are also aware that filing under the old tax regime after July 31, 2024, is not possible.

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
