[[File: How can I save Taxes this year?]] Some of the Sections of Income Tax Act, 1961 are detailed below which detail few Exemptions and categories of exempt income that you can take advantage of: Section 80C: Investment in specified instruments and expenses Section 80C gives every income tax payer up to a maximum of Rs. 1, 00,000 tax free income in a year if they invest in or buy the following instruments. Please not that this is a combined total of Rs. 1,00,000 and not an individual figure for every instrument:

1. Premium for Life Insurance or ULIP 2. Provident Fund (PF) contribution 3. Public Provident Fund (PPF) - only up to Rs. 70,000 in a year 4. Repayment of home loan principal 5. Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) of Mutual Fund Companies 6. Infrastructure Bonds 7. National Savings Certificates (NSC) 8. Tax Saving Fixed Deposits with Banks 9. Tuition Fees of children

1: ULIP premium needs to be at least 1/5th of the sum assured to qualify under Section 80C

2: PPF returns are set by the Government of India and can be revised either upwards or Downwards in any year.

Section 80D: Health Insurance Premium You can take advantage of an annual deduction of Rs. 15,000 from taxable income for payment of Health Insurance premium for self and dependants. For senior citizens, this deduction is Rs. 20,000. Section 80E: Interest paid on educational loans You can claim a deduction on the interest paid on loans taken for higher education for yourself, your spouse and children. There is no limit on the amount of deduction you can claim. The only thing to keep in mind is that the program for which the loan is taken should be a graduate or post-graduate program in engineering, medicine or management or a post- graduate course in the pure or applied sciences. Section 80G: Donations to Charitable institutions You can claim a deduction for any donation that you might have made to a charitable fund or institution. However, please note that these donations should be made only to specified institutions. And a proper proof of payment must be provided for the same. Based on the classification of the charity, you can claim either 100% or 50% of the donated amount as deduction. The deduction might also be subject to a certain limit again based on the type of charity that you are donating money Section 24: Interest paid on housing loan Under Section 24, a maximum of Rs 1, 50,000 can be deducted from your taxable income as interest repayment for a self occupied house. Please note that this deduction is not available if you the house is still under construction and you do not have occupation of the house.

Provisions that you should take advantage of if you are a salaried employee: Section 10(13A) : House Rent Allowance You can take advantage of the provisions under this section if you are renting an accommodation. These provisions will not be available to you if you stay in a rent-free accommodation or live with your family or in your own house. Under Section 10(13A), HRA is exempt to the least of the following: i) 50/40 per cent of basic salary= Dearness Allowance (if, applicable), ii) excess of rent paid over 10 per cent of basic salary; and iii) actual HRA received.

Lets illustrate this calculation with an example: Assumptions HRA per month = Rs 15,000 Basic monthly salary = Rs 30,000 Monthly rent = Rs 14,000 Rental accommodation is in Chennai.

Exemption

The HRA exemption would be the least of the following: 1. Actual amount of HRA: Rs 15,000 2. 50% of salary (basic component + dearness allowance) = 50% x (30,000 + 0) =Rs 15,000 3. Actual rent paid - 10% of salary (basic component + dearness allowance)= Rs 14,000 - [10% of (30,000 + 0)] = 14,000 ± 3,000 = Rs 11,000 Rs 11,000 being the least of the three amounts will be the exemption from HRA. The balance HRA of Rs 4,000 (15,000-11,000) would be taxable. Please note that HRA exemptions are only available on submission of rent receipts or the rent agreement. Paying Rent to parents or relatives If you want to pay rent to your parents or any relatives (like uncle/cousin) whom you are staying with. You will need to treat them as landlords. And request the owner of the house (which will be one of your parents) to declare it in his/ her personal income tax return. This will prevent any litigation in the future.

Section 10 (14) Rule 2BB(10) : Transport Allowance Transport allowance granted for commuting between your residence and place of work is exempt up to Rs. 800 a month. You can take advantage of this provision to get a tax exemption of Rs 9600 annually by providing your employer with bills or a self declaration. Section 17(2) : Medical Reimbursement You can claim exemption up to Rs 15,000 annually on actual expenditure incurred on your medical treatment or for treatment of any of your dependants. Moreover, there is no restriction of approved hospitals or clinic for the same. This is exempt only on provision of actual bills. However, if the amount is paid out as an allowance not a reimbursement then it would be fully taxable. Prepared by    Gunasekaran Mani

Secrets of 80CC & Section 80CCF Infrastructure Bonds -(Indian Income TAX - 80ccF)-Year 2011-2012
What is the additional tax benefit under 80CCF? All of you know that you can reduce your taxable income by investing in certain instruments like tax saving fixed deposits, or tax saving mutual funds, but the limit on the deduction from your taxable income is Rs. 100,000.

So, if you invest Rs. 150,000 in tax saving mutual funds – the tax benefit will be capped at Rs. 100,000.

Section 80CCF allows you to invest an additional Rs. 20,000 in infrastructure bonds, and have that reduced from your taxable income in addition to the Rs. 100,000 deduction you get from the other instruments.  Will I get the tax benefit every year, or just one year?

You will get the tax benefit only in the first year, which means that if you buy bonds worth Rs. 20,000 in this year – Rs. 20,000 will be deducted from your taxable income while calculating tax this year

There is no tax benefit from next year onwards.

I have a tax liability of Rs. 12,000 – will that become zero if I buy bonds worth Rs. 12,000? No, that’s not how they work. Buying the bonds will not lead to a reduction in the tax paid by reducing that amount from your tax burden.

The benefit comes from reducing your taxable salary by the amount of your investment, so that the final tax burden is reduced.

Is there TDS on the interest? For bonds that are issued only in electronic format there is no TDS, however that doesn’t mean that there is no tax on them.

Is the interest from these bonds tax free? While there may be no TDS on the interest on these bonds, they are taxable, and the interest will be added to your income, and it will be taxable.

Will these 80CCF bonds be listed on a stock exchange? Yes, the bonds will be listed on a stock exchange, however they come with a lock in period, and you can’t sell them before the lock in period. For example, the IDFC bond had a lock in period of 5 years, so you can’t sell these bonds within 5 years, but once they list you will be able to sell them.

I missed the existing issues, will there be new infrastructure bond issues? Yes, there are going to be more 80CCF infrastructure bond issues in the future, and if you missed the earlier ones, there is still a chance to get these bonds.

What tax proof will I get if I applied for the infrastructure bond in dematerialized form? You will get allotment advice in the mail that you can use for tax proof, and if you haven’t received the proof then some people have been advised that they can use the copy of their Demat holdings to show that you own the bonds.

Can NRIs invest in Section 80CCF bonds? The bonds that have been issued so far haven’t allowed investments from NRIs, and I think there might be some clause which limits NRIs from investing in these bonds.

Since I need a Demat account to buy these bonds, will I need a broker to exercise the buyback option? You won’t need a stock broker to exercise the buyback option. In the case of IFCI you can write to them and ask them to exercise the buyback, and in the case of IDFC and L&T they can exercise it by buying it back from you and crediting your bank account, so you don’t need a broker.

You will need a broker if you decide to sell it on the exchange though.
