Sir, MY take home salary is ?82k x 12. Payslip mentioned gross salary as ?14lakh. I invest alongwith employer in NPS Tier I ?142000/-, ?150000 in PPF, ?50K additional in NPS 1 under 80CCD1B. I have no insurance, term plan. However, I invested ?1.5 Lakh in MF, Stocks. total deductions available is ?3.5 Lakh under old tax regime. I live in Employer provided Home. Hence, not receiving any HRA. Kindly tell other ways to get deduction or to save more under old tax regime. I have my wife, 1 girl, 1 boy and my parents in my family.

Ans: 01. You have planned your income & tax savings nicely. Other options available are Medi-Claim Policy u/s 80-D (if not getting Medical benefits from your employer), Donations u/s 80-G & Interest payment on Housing Loan, if any.
02. Please calculate your tax in New Regime also & go for the option, where your tax liability is less.
03. I feel new Tax Regime, may offer less tax payment.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
