How to save money on taxation?

I wasn't doing proper ITR, I was in the family biz for the last 6 years, recently joined a startup and they don't have any proper salary composition. My current salary is 35L in hand (2.9L per month). Apart from HRA how do I save in taxes? is there an app which does it for you?

Any tax planning recommendations / tips / third party suggestions for someone earning ~25lpa ?

Title says all

I am a software engineer in Bangalore having base CTC 13.8 lpa. Which brings me to a tax of more than a lakh rupees, what are the possible ways to reduce this taxed amount.

My research tells me old as my salary isn't a lot more than the 7 lakh tax slab, but my friend says new is better? Help

It’s so painful to see the amount of money I end up paying on the name of tax. Presently doing - 1.5L of LIC and pf + 50k NPS + HRA. What else can be done? My CTC is 55LPA.

I have always been very intrigued about managing my own finances, never hired a CA till now. But every year when the tax return filing time comes I run into the same thought - Am I paying too much taxes, is there a way to plan it better? wanted to get some information on how are you guys managing your taxes. - Do you guys have a dedicated CA? does hiring a CA helps? - How do you plan your finances? investing/Saving/restructuring to avoid paying the maximum taxes? - Some people setup a side business to set off some recurring losses/expenses to some extent. Does that work in long term? - In terms of wealth generation, what is your strategy? How much you are able to invest? What assets are good in your POV? P.S. - Before someone comes up with you need to pay taxes so India can grow. I understand your POV but IMO, I am not able to get the benefits/infra in return, but I with all my heart believe in India’s growth story.

Hi, I wanted to take community's advice on tax saving suggestions to opt for and plan my investments. This is what I have: CTC: 21L ( 19L Fixed , 2L variable pay in CTC ) 80C is covered, Currently I have 50L home loans. & Staying in rented house with 16k rent, Paying around 20k+ TDS. Where can I save? Plan me with total take home per month & tax regime to opt ?

So this is something that I have been researching for a while, apart from very well known instruments such as-(only mentioning the ones that should be done by everyone irrespective) * 1.5L annually through 80C * 50k standard deduction * HRA claim * Donation claims * Insurance/Medical claims How are you folks optimising your post tax income? Would really like to hear it from people getting >= 24 LPA fixed, since from this point onwards a major chunk (almost 20% goes in taxes) and it really hurts.

I am salaried & have opted for new tax regime. I have zero liability (no EMIs, etc). Closed both my home loan & car loan. I live in my own house. My yearly tax comes out to be around 12 Lakhs. I want to know if there is a scope to save taxes continuing with zero liability. I would not mind appointing a CA but I have no idea how to choose the best CA. 1. How much does a CA charge annually? 2. Is it really worthwhile to have a CA given the above? 3. What are some questions I must ask the prospective CAs so that I can assess their capability? 4. Salaried people that have already appointed a CA can share their experiences. 5. Is there any off-the-shelf ideas I can get here to save taxes?
