Dear Sir,

You can claim 15000 per annum as medical reimbursement, reasonable amount as telephone reimbursement I.e. approx 1000 p.m., travelling allowance is 1600 p.m. and food coupon upto 3000 PM. You can claim 80C deduction like lic, elsss etc.

If you don't give enough evidence for medical reimbursement, it will be disbursed to you as a taxable allowance at the end of year.

I don't think so after doing all this you have to pay any tax.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Sir,

As per your requirement you can plan your salary for income tax purpose by following bifurcation:

Exempted

Basic Salary 20,000*12= 240,000 0

HRA Received 12,000*12= 1,44,000 72,000 (Assuming rent paid Rs. 8000 Per Month)

Transport Allowances 2,000*12= 24,000 19,200

Telephone Reimbursement 1,000*12= 15,000 12,000

Medical Reimbursement 1,250*12= 15,000 15,000

Food 1,250*12= 15,000 15,000

Other Allowances 2,500*12= 30,000 0

After following above structure of salary your tax liability would be Rs. 7680 however you can also claim deduction u/s 80c such as lic premium paid, Tution fee of child, any other investment to reduce your tax liability.

But will u be able to show 18k rent, in your main question you said that you cant show rent more than 1 lac per annum.

Further where is the pf component. Your employer don't deduct pf?
