06 January 2015 For saving of taxes there are several tax planning techniques.
1. Revised your salary structure, if possible take 20% of your salary as reimbursement of expenses.
2. if you don't have any house property in your name give the rent to parents and claim higher benefit of HRA (if your parents doesn't have any other income or below the minimum slab)
3. Ensure that you investing in funds which are eligible for 80C deduction or 80D in case of mediclaim and take maximum benefit threshold limit under these sections.
