Need financial suggestions on tax saving

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.

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

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?

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 ?

Got an offer, I calculated the tax and it will be around 3L ( currently it was around 1.5L) it's crazy, I don't want to pay 25k each month as tax. My Gross will be around: 22L I'm 24, I don't have any health insurance other than the company provided one, no home/education loan. Please suggest how I can reduce tax. (I have already included max 80c, NPS, HRA in my calculation)

They live paycheck to paycheck, As the tax amount is a lot for him, pls help with what can be done? I’ve seen people who earn hell lot more paying 0 taxes, pls help Home EMI= Rs 25K per month Family members= 6 (Wife, 2 daughters, Parents) No Mutual fund SIP, no health insurance, no knowledge of how to save taxes

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

I paid 4.8L Tax and my CA somehow managed to get back 30k refund. Wanted to know if people here in similar bracket or higher .. Have managed get higher refund. I chose old slab coz the greytHR portal said I’ll save more in that. I don’t have a housing loan, I have shown HRA , insurance and mutual funds
