First compute his total income. Check 26AS how much TDS has been deducted and deposited from his salary. Check for any EPF deductions from the salary.
You can invest in PPF. You can purchase NSC. Limit is Rs. 100,000/-

Mostly his 80C limit would have been exhausted. There is no other option to reduce his tax.

1. Better he can invest in 5 years FD tax savings scheme for 80C (upto Max. limit 1 lac)
2. Apart from 80C, he can take a individual health insurance policy or dependant health insurance policy for 80D ( upto max limit Rs.15,000)
3.Another option is to provide donation to any recognized institutions for 80G

Adding to the point made by Mr Nathan, One thing for sure you can do is even if you have not taken any medical insurance policy, your cash expenses upto Rs 5000 during the year on preventive health checkup will be allowed as deduction under section 80D within the overall limit as specified above. So keep your medical bills for record purpose.
You tax saving in the given condition would be 5000*30% = 1500.

Being in a PSU, Medical Insurance does not make sense, unless one is planning to change companies in near future.
All medical costs are borne by the company.

I think he still can save tax by investing in NSC or taking a LIC policy
Apart from it he can try and change his salary structure including in it HRA and show himself as someone living on rent in his parents house atleast for next year so that atleast he can save tax next year.
