    Q

    bhavnashah: I\'m a pensioner earning govt pension of Rs. 5,50,000 and other income of Rs. 2.50,000 in all Rs. 8 lakh and pays tax around Rs. 72.000? How can I legitimately save beyond 1.20 lakh under all other provisions of section 80---Mr.P.P.Shah

    A

    Arnav Pandya

    Financial Planner

    If you want to save beyond the amount of deductions that you get then you should invest in tax free bonds or earn dividends from mutual funds that are tax free rather than earning income that is taxable in nature.

    Q

    BRPATEL_RX: Sir, I want to give around 49000 rs as cash gift to my wife for tax saving FD. How can I declare my gift amount in IT return filling for tax exemption. Under which section, this amount can be declared. I am salaried employee and I comes under 20% tax slab while my spouce is housewife.

    A

    Arnav Pandya

    Financial Planner

    You can gift the amount to your wife but any income that is earned from the investment of that amount by your wife would be considered as your income and you would need to show the income earned on the amount in your tax return.

    Q

    vnpbnp1975: I have a combine Medical Insurance policy for Myself my parents. My basic premium is Rs 3060 & my senior citizen parents basic premium is Rs 20520 (10260+10260). Total Gross basic premium I paid is Rs. 23580. On this Service tax is Rs. 2915 and hence net premium is Rs. 26495. My question is how much I can claim tax exemption under 80D For self and for senior citizen parents. For self can I also claim Service tax amount beside basic premium of Rs. 3060?

    A

    Arnav Pandya

    Financial Planner

    You can claim the full amount that you have paid as premium for you and for the amount that is paid for your parents an amount upto Rs 20000 can be claimed. The amount of service tax can be included in both the individual calculations while arriving at the amount that is actually allowed as a deduction.

    Q

    ravindrajain1988: I have got Leave Encashment of Rs.31,865 and company has given exemption of Rs.12,575. My Basic+DA per month is Rs.10,000. Is the exemption amount correct or am I eligible for more amount ? I checked the rules, and found that I should be eligible for whole amount but I just wanted to confirm.Thanks.

    A

    Arnav Pandya

    Financial Planner

    There are several conditions that determine the amount of leave encashment that is exempt. One is whether this is received during service or at the time of retirement. If it is at the time of retirement then the type of entity where you were an employee decides the extent of the amount that is exempt. Since you have not given details on both these fronts it is very difficult to say what is the exact amount o leave encashment that is exempt for you.

    Q

    A

    Arnav Pandya

    Financial Planner

    As per the details provided by you the taxable income that you have is above the basic exemption limit of Rs 250,000 that will be available for you and hence there could actually be a tax liability for you.

    Q

    sid54321: Dear sir i have a tax saver FD with five years locking period opened in financial year 12-13. Can i take tax rebate from this FD in financial year 13-14.

    A

    Arnav Pandya

    Financial Planner

    A tax deduction under Section 80C for a fixed deposit can be taken only in the financial year in which this has been made. So if you have made the investment a year ago then the tax benefit here cannot be taken again.

    Q

    rnp_111: I am paying rent of Rs 50000 every month and my salary is Rs 12 lakhs. How much rent can I claim for tax deduction? Do I need to provide any documents?

    A

    Balwant Jain

    CFO, apnapaisa.com

    In case you are in receipt of HRA from your employer, your employer will grant you an exemption in respect of your HRA. The amount of such exemption is least of 1) Actual HRA received 2) Excess of rent paid over 10% of your basic salary or 3) 505 of your basic salary if you are staying in metro city and 40% in case you are staying in other place. However in case you are not in receipt of any HRA and are still paying the rent you can claim deduction for such rent paid under Section 80 GG of the Income Tax Act. The deduction allowable shall be lowest of the following 1) Excess of rent paid over 10% of total income 2) Rs. 2,000/- per month 3) 25% of your total Income.
