How Can I Maximize My Take-Home Pay and Minimize Taxes with an 11 Lacs CTC Offer?

I have been offered a CTC of 11 lacs by my employer. Can anybody please suggest what should be the break-up so that I can maximize my in-hand and minimize tax liability?

Thanks

Dear Mr. Kamran Husain,

As you are aware, IT is based on the savings that you make on different heads, including a housing loan. Broadly, it can be stated that Conveyance is exempt up to a maximum of Rs. 800 per month. Medical reimbursements are up to a maximum of Rs. 15,000 per annum, and LTA can be claimed twice in a block of 4 calendar years. To my knowledge, there is no cap on the amount of LTA. The rest of the exemptions are available in the form of HRA or Housing loan, etc.
