Hello Mihir, My gross salary is 24L and after 75K standard deduction and new regime new slabs, I end up with a monthly tax of around 30K. Is there any way where I can invest and save tax?

Ans: Interest paid on Home Loan is also exempt under the new tax regime. You may plan for that.
I feel in your case old regime may not be beneficial even after all tax savings under 80-C, 80-D & 80CCD(1b).
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Parikh, Are there any tax saving options available, considering I am on new tax regime. Also, I don't have any home/auto/etc. loan, and stay in my own apartment. Regards, Praveen
Ans: Dear Praveen,

Thank you for your question. I understand that you're looking for tax-saving options under the new tax regime. While the new tax regime does limit some of the deductions available under the old regime, there are still a few options you can consider.

Standard Deduction: A fixed amount of Rs. 50,000 is allowed as a deduction from the total income of salaried individuals. Please note that if you claim this standard deduction, you cannot claim any other deduction for the same amount under any other section of the Income Tax Act.
Employer's Contribution to NPS: If your employer contributes to your National Pension Scheme (NPS) account, this contribution can be claimed as a deduction.
Transport Allowances for Persons with Disabilities: If you have a disability, you may be eligible for deductions related to transport allowances.
Gratuity: If you receive a gratuity from your employer, it may be exempt from tax under Section 10(10).
Leave Encashment: If you receive any amount in lieu of leave not taken, it may be exempt from tax under Section 10(10AA).
Please remember that tax planning should be a part of your overall financial planning. It's important to choose the options that best suit your financial goals and circumstances. If you need more detailed advice, I would recommend consulting with a tax advisor who can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

I hope this helps!

Hi, age 40 years, monthly net salary Rs 85k, married , 1 kid. Recently have constructed new house. Ground floor commercial shops, and 1st floor residential 2bhk flat were we stay. Home loan 1.05 cr with monthly EMI of 85k for next 30 years & All current savings exhausted due to new construction. Commercial shops have potential for monthly rental income of 60k to 70k.please guide on below for strategy: 1) how to close home loan in next 10 years 2) considering 60 as retirement age, need corpus of 8 cr to fund kid education, marriage and for rest of livelihood.
Ans: Hello;

1. Immediately let out the commercial shops on long lease with yearly rent hikes. This is crucial to fund your loan EMI.

Assuming this to yield rental income of 70 K per month.

You will still need to shell out 15 K for the EMI amount from your income.

2. So after deducting EMI cut from your monthly pay we are left with
70 K.
Earmarking 30 K for your regular expenses, I suggest you start a monthly SIP of 40 K in a pure equity mutual fund with yearly top-up of 11% minimum.

This may grow into a corpus of 1.47 Cr after 10 years part of which you may utilise to settle off the overdue loan amount.

3. The balance corpus left after settling the loan is expected to be around 54 L. At this stage you will need enhance monthly sip to 1.5 L with 13 % yearly top-up for the next 10 years.

4. The corpus from SIP after the next 10 years may be 6.3 Cr. The balance corpus of 54 L may grow into a sum of 1.83 Cr. Both added will give you a comprehensive corpus of 8.13 Cr, as desired. ( A modest return of 13% from pure equity mutual funds is considered).

Happy Investing!!

Sir the median package at ssnce for cse core is less than rvce ise .So does it make more viable option considering placement in mind .I have a dream of becoming software engineer from my childhood. But my seniors are advising for rvce ise.what to do should I follow my dream or placement.I am a Bangalore resident and Tamil is my mother tongue.
Ans: Ashwin, my son, graduated from RVCE in 2023 and secured employment through campus placement with a reputable software company. Despite being among the highest achievers in COMEDK, he opted for ECE instead of the more accessible CSE. We did not compel him to join CSE. Following his second year, he progressively shown an interest in software and obtained several certifications through NPTEL, Internshala, and similar platforms. Regarding his experience, while ISE is commendable, CSE is the superior option. Simply enter 'RV placement statistics 2024'. Select the initial result to get the Placement Statistics of RV directly. The top placements are for Computer Science Engineering, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering, and then Information Science Engineering. The recommendations of your seniors, your personal interests, and the branch with the highest placement statistics are distinct considerations. Kindly review the Course Curriculum for both CSE and ISE and make a decision. Kindly review one of my detailed responses below, in which I have explicitly outlined the stages, recommendations, and methods that a first-year engineering student should adhere to till their fourth year for campus placement. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
