Tax is the great source of income for the government. Through tax the government gets a lump sum amount. The higher the income, the higher the tax. But under the tax law the government made provisions to minimize tax liability. In which include various provisions and deductions provided by tax legislation. The income-tax Act 1961 provides taxpayers with numerous options to reduce their tax payable.
Income Splitting – Utilize provisions like clubbing of income to split income among family members, especially with different tax slabs, to lower overall tax liability.
Section 80C Deductions – Maximize deductions under Section 80C up to ₹1.5 lakh by investing in PPF, ELSS, NSC, life insurance, and home loan principal repayment.
