I wanted to understand , how much savings can we show , is it dependant on the salary package or same for all salaried persons.
How much exemption do we get from HRA , is it completely tax free or some % of it etc etc ,..
Thanks for your time
Thanks

hello,
You have a question which has a VAGUE and vast answer.
the matter of savings comes into picture only when you find youself in the taxable slab.
income under 1.6 lac from alll sources is NON taxable.
hence please clear me with the details to help you as there are lot of options to save taxes.
CHEERS!
