In addition to Kamesh's suggestion, I would like to suggest the following:

HRA - You have considered 50% of basic, but it is applicable to metros only. Non-metros should have only 40% of HRA. According to the latest CBDT circular, if the House Rent exceeds Rs. 180,000 per annum, the employee needs to quote the PAN of the landlord or provide a declaration stating that the landlord does not have a PAN.

Food coupons can go up to Rs. 2,700 per month.
