For ex:
My net/total Taxable Income, after all deductions, for the Financial Year 2016-17 is Rs 4, 0000,000 (4 Lakh Rupees).I I am a salaried person.
Now, tillAs per current tax brackets upto 2.5 lakh, there is NIL tax. So, my taxable income left is 400000-250000 = Rupees 1,50,000 (1.5 Lacs). I come underThis amount is taxed at 10% slab bracket, so now my income tax is Rs 15, 000000.
I have not done any extra saving....now if If want to open a PPF Account, then how much should iI invest in PPF, so that iI can save full RS 15000 tax or at least some part of it.
I have declared in investment declaration form, to my company that iI will invest Rs 1.5 lac in declaration form. How does thatDoes this matter?
Is it that to save just Rs 15,000 tax iI have to put 10 times, 1.5 lacs in PPF account or iI can just putinvest Rs 20000 - 30000 Rs to save full tax.
Is their some ratio 1:2 or 1:33; i.e.that means to save Rs 1000 rs iI have to invest 10000..etc.2 times or 3 times.or something like that? Please help....im I'm confused.
Thank you so much for your answer!
