Ans: 01. Let me confirm your figures as, Salary Income Rs.22L, Interest from FDR Rs. 60L & MF Gains Rs. 25L.
02. Kindly avail normal tax savings like, u/s 80-C, Mediclaim u/s 80D, Pension Plan etc.
03. Besides above you would also be getting Standard Deduction from Salary (Rs,75,000.00), Rebate from Interest Income (Rs,10,000.00) & Exempt amount from LTCGs (Rs,1,25,000.00), if income from MFs is covered under Long Term Capital Gains.
03. You need tax planning in advance. You may shift some of your investments in Residential Property by taking some amount of loan also. Interest & repayment of loan would further add to your tax planning, besides it may give you benefit of appreciation in its value. If your income from MFs is by selling some units/shares, you may probably shift Selling of these funds by few months & shift LTCG to next financial year.
