I am posting an open topic, I understand that this is broad area and also subjective but nevertheless can be useful for many people. And this is the best forum to get expert answers.

For a salaried employee with no other income. What are the tax saving options available?

The usual list that we see on the internet are

80C - Insurance, EPF, PPF, ELSS etc...
80D, 80DDB - medical insurance and meds
80CCD (1) (1B) - NPS
Section 10 HRA
Housing loan, loss on property or related
LTA.

The above are usual advice we get from other usual forums. Apart from the above list are there any other sections or approaches that could be of help for individual salaried employee to save on tax ?

Hello Ars,

This is specialised area having expertise with Tax consultants and its always better you to approach a tax consultant and get your tax planning done by paying appropriate professional fees. Whatever mentioned by you is very much general sections under chapter VI-A of the income tax act, however further deduction shall be based on each of person specific data.

Thanks @ Manoj for your thoughts.

Yes, I understand this is person specific and subjective. I did a professional consultation with ClearTax, this list (in my post) is all I got from there too. So was curious of other aspects or thoughts, if any from CA professionals.
