Lots of ways :

  1. Create a fake rent agreement with your parents claiming (2-3 lakhs of HRA completely)
  2. full 80c (1.5 lakhs)+ insurance (1lakh ) , LIC
  3. NPS(50k)
  4. Home loan (interest upto 2lakh)
  5. Other allowances (car running cost + travel allowance - take 1 vacation with family - all flight tickets are reimbursible) - I think limit is 5lakh of Other allowances.
