June 18, 2018
 

It's important for a person to know what are the income tax slab rates saving methods they can use. Most people end up paying more taxes because they aren't educated with the methods of tax saving. They end up with lesser savings and more taxes.

The amount of deduction that can be claimed is the least of rent paid less 10% of his total income; 25% of his total income and Rs 5,000 per month. However, "to claim this deduction, the individual should not have income for which exemption can be claimed under section 10(13A) and neither the individual, spouse of the individual or minor child of such individual should own accommodation in the place of the individual's employment.

Loan deduction- An individual can claim loan reduction for pursuing higher education, and this can be claimed on the interest paid towards the loan. 

Donation Deduction - The rate of deduction is either 50 or 100 per cent of the amount contributed, depending where the funds are donated. Such deductions are restricted to 10% of the gross total income of the donor.
