no. it is not necessary for you. Your tax liability shall depend on your total annual income. Will be able to provide better answer if you could provide details of your annual salary.
Kindly do not invest in any postal certificates for the sake of saving taxes only .
On the basis of the information provided by you, your maximum tax liability can be around Rs 22,229.
I am sure your salary structure must be having certain portions of non-taxable salary (such as HRA, traveling allowance etc). That should further reduce your tax liability.

They cannot compel you to invest in anything as a pre-requisite to releasing arrears, unless you have agreed to this before. You may ask them to give you this ultimatum in writing and threaten to take action legally against them.
