Dear Sir,
Here is my reply to your query:
As per the details provided by you, below will be the total income tax for the FY 2020-21, if you will not be investing any more amount:
Tax Payable:
OLD Regime of Income Tax Calculation - 4,56,924
NEW Regime of Income Tax Calculation- 4,00,920
New Regime will be beneficial in this case
*Total Deductions will be Rs. 70,500 and recurring deposit will not be a part of these deductions.
Now, if you want to invest in PPF or any other available option then you can invest maximum up to Rs. 85,000 to avail the maximum available exemption that is Rs. 1,50,000 under section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
Moreover, you can invest Rs. 50,000 more in NPS (National Pension scheme) to avail further deduction of Rs. 50,000.
Also, you can invest Rs. 19,500 further in medi-claim policy of your own and your family (dependent on you) to claim the maximum allowable deduction amounting to Rs. 25000.
Assuming that you will do the maximum investment as possible to claim the maximum allowable deductions, in that case tax liability will be :
OLD Regime of Income Tax Calculation - 4,08,720
NEW Regime of Income Tax Calculation- 4,00,920
New Regime will be beneficial in this case also.
Let me know if you still have any other points to discuss.
Stay Home Stay Safe!
Thanks and Regards
