In income tax, 80C, 80CCC, 80CCD gives deduction upto Rs. 1,00,000. In 80C major investment plan is PPF (lock in period 15 years), 5 yr Bank deposit, Life insurance premium, and NSC as mentioned by Mihir. Periodic fixed deposit plan with bank is good option (but will must attract 10% TDS in your case, however there will be net benefit of 7.5 - 8.25% interest earned by you.)
Here one good investment plan is to invest in House property. It will gives you deducion under Secion 24 (house property for interest portion - in FY 13-14 it will be Rs. 2,50,000 subject to fulfilment of cetain condition) and installment payment under 80C.
