How to Maximize Tax Savings?

The most effective strategy combines Section 80C investments (EPF, PPF, ELSS) to the ₹1.5L cap, additional NPS contribution under 80CCD(1B) for another ₹50K, and 80D health insurance deductions. Together these can save ₹75,000+ in tax for those in the 30% bracket.

Under the New Tax Regime, most deductions are unavailable but you still get ₹75,000 standard deduction and NPS employer contribution benefit. Use this calculator to compare and choose the regime that results in lower tax for your specific situation.

lightbulb Example Calculation
Scenario: Salary ₹12L, EPF ₹72K, PPF ₹50K, NPS ₹50K, 80D ₹25K
180C = ₹1,22,000 (within ₹1.5L limit)
2Total deductions = ₹50K std + ₹1.22L + ₹50K NPS + ₹25K 80D = ₹2.47L
3Old taxable = ₹9.53L | Old Tax ≈ ₹1,06,340
✓ New Regime Tax ≈ ₹1,17,000 → Old Regime saves ₹10,660

Frequently Asked Questions

80C, NPS, and deduction limits explained

Can I claim 80C deductions under the New Tax Regime?
No. Under the New Tax Regime (default from FY 2023-24), most deductions including 80C, 80D, 80E, HRA, and LTA are not available. The only deductions allowed are the standard deduction (₹75,000), NPS employer contribution (80CCD(2)), and a few others. If your deductions are significant, the Old Regime may save more tax.
What is the NPS deduction under Section 80CCD?
Section 80CCD(1): NPS contribution up to 10% of salary within the ₹1.5L 80C limit. Section 80CCD(1B): Additional ₹50,000 deduction for NPS contributions over and above the ₹1.5L limit, available only in Old Regime. Section 80CCD(2): Employer NPS contribution up to 10% of salary available in both Old and New Regime.
What qualifies as Section 80C investments?
Section 80C allows deductions up to ₹1,50,000 for: EPF, PPF, ELSS mutual funds (3-year lock-in), Life insurance premiums, NSC, Tax-saver FDs (5-year), Home loan principal repayment, Sukanya Samriddhi, and tuition fees. All within-year contributions count toward the ₹1.5L cap.
