Hi Mahesh,
Your total annual income is 867,600. Up to 150,000, there is no tax, so 867,600 - 150,000 = 717,600. Now, you can claim tax benefits such as:
- HRA: 105,000
- PF: 32,400
- PT: 2,400
- Insurance: 25,000
- Education: 38,400
- Mediclaim Insurance: 15,000 (if you have any dependent above the age of 65 years, an extra 5,000 can be claimed)
- Car maintenance: 1,200 per month (if you have a driver, you can claim an extra 600 per month)
- If you have any housing loans and interests up to 150,000, you are also eligible under 80C for up to 100,000. However, you have only 25,000; you may consider taking another policy for a 75,000 premium per month.
Now, your taxable amount is 477,800. If you want the exact taxable amount and tax payable amount, you can consult a tax consultant.
