Based on your declared and tax-proof investments, let’s analyze how you can save more tax in FY 2024-25:
Breakdown of Tax-Saving Investments You Have:
- House Rent (HRA): ₹26,000 × 12 = ₹3,12,000 (exempt under Section 10(13A) if eligible)
- LIC Premium: ₹31,500
- House Loan Principal Repayment: ₹73,566 (eligible under Section 80C)
- House Loan Interest Payment: ₹97,990 (eligible under Section 24(b) for deduction)
- Section 80C Total So Far = ₹31,500 + ₹73,566 = ₹1,05,066
- The max limit for Section 80C is ₹1,50,000. So, you can invest ₹44,934 more.
Additional Tax-Saving Options
1. Invest in ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme) – Section 80C
- Yes, ELSS mutual funds are a great option to save tax and generate higher returns compared to traditional investments.
- How much to invest?
- You need ₹44,934 more to fully utilize the ₹1,50,000 limit under Section 80C.
- You can invest this amount in ELSS mutual funds (with a 3-year lock-in) to optimize your tax savings.
2. National Pension Scheme (NPS) – Section 80CCD(1B)
- You can invest ₹50,000 more in NPS to get an additional tax deduction under Section 80CCD(1B).
- This is beyond the ₹1.5 lakh 80C limit.
3. Additional Deductions Under Section 80D (Health Insurance)
- If you don’t have health insurance, you can take:
- ₹25,000 for self & family (₹50,000 if parents are senior citizens).
- ₹5,000 extra for preventive health checkups.
4. Home Loan Interest (Section 24 & Section 80EEA)
- You have ₹97,990 interest deduction under Section 24(b).
- If your home loan was taken under affordable housing (below ₹45 lakh), you may claim ₹1,50,000 extra under Section 80EEA.

Your term insurance premium of ₹1,45,000 can be claimed under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
How It Affects Your Tax Savings:
Your Existing Section 80C Investments:
- LIC Premium: ₹31,500
- Home Loan Principal: ₹73,566
- Total: ₹1,05,066
Adding Term Insurance:
- ₹1,05,066 + ₹1,45,000 = ₹2,50,066
- However, Section 80C has a maximum limit of ₹1,50,000, so you cannot claim beyond this.
Revised 80C Strategy:
- You have already exceeded the ₹1,50,000 limit due to the term insurance premium.
- No need to invest in ELSS anymore, as 80C is already maxed out.
Updated Tax-Saving Strategy for FY 2024-25:
| Section | Tax-Saving Investment | Amount to Claim |
|---|---|---|
| 80C | Term Insurance | ₹1,45,000 |
| 80C | LIC Premium | ₹5,000 (since max limit is ₹1,50,000) |
| 80CCD(1B) | NPS (Tier 1) | ₹50,000 (Extra beyond 80C) |
| 80D | Health Insurance | ₹25,000 - ₹50,000 |
| 80EEA | Home Loan Interest (if eligible) | ₹1,50,000 |
Final Suggestions:
✅ No need for ELSS investment anymore since 80C is full.
✅ Consider NPS (₹50,000 under 80CCD(1B)) for extra savings.
✅ Get health insurance (₹25,000 - ₹50,000 under 80D) if not already taken.
✅ Check 80EEA eligibility for extra ₹1,50,000 deduction on home loan interest.
This revised plan maximizes your tax savings while keeping your investments optimized. Let me know if you need further clarification! 😊
