I was looking into your query and it might be late to answer but I still thought it might be a gooid idea to give you heads up on the second part of your query (while first one was precisely answered by othr collegues), There are limited options available for salaried person wrt to tax planning. One best option is to invest in various schemes menioned u/s 80C such as Investment in Life insurance policies (remember not every policy is covered so please make sure you double check before buying), Tax savind deposits,Pension fund etc..This will give you a deduction upto Rs 100000/-, you can also avail deduction u/s 80D upto Rs. 30000 (including insurance for parents), there are other section as well which you can to reduce your overall taxable income.. Post your reply if you are interested in that..
