WISHING ALL A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY, WEALTHY, SUCCESSFUL, PROSPEROUS AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR.
With Christmas and New Year, we hear Bells ringing not only from Santa with bag full of Surprises, but also from each companies HR department for submission of Declaration on Investments and IT Declaration for A.Y.14-15 or F.Y.13-14.
Most of us try and scramble few pages on net and start searching for the budget, or some for rules on I.T..Most of us feel jittery and few have some of the following queries:
** What is the max I can save on Taxes?
** How much Tax I need to pay this yr.?
** How am I paying more tax than my Boss, Who has higher income to me?
** Everyone is Talking about 80 CCC,80 E,80 G,80@#@##_,so What is all about 80s?
** PPF, Insurance or FD for Tax Saving?
** How much benefit can I get from Home and Education loan?
** Can I get both HRA and Home loan Tax Saving advantage?
** How do I know about my Investment and Taxes?
any many many more.....
I understand all this and hence am trying to list out few Important points and Sections ,with short explanations. Truly speaking I am also using here one of the companies details given to their employees, which I liked in some sense. I am hereby reproducing few of those and adding few ones and also explanations for all to understand easily and implement immediately.
