Income Tax Savings News: Financial year 2022 will end in March and if you have not made many investments to save income tax, then your tax may be deducted more. That is why it is important that you see your investment once before the end of March. If you have not made the necessary investment for tax savings, then you can do it before 31 March. After that the new financial year will start and you will not be able to do anything again.
If you are also worried about where to invest, then we are here to help you.
How much is the investment in 80C?
The most important thing is to check whether 80C has been fully utilized or not. Tax exemption can be availed under this section by investing up to Rs 1.5 lakh annually.
Under this, PPF, Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS), Life Insurance Premium, NSC, Tuition Fee for Two Children, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) and Tax Saving Schemes of Mutual Funds come. If you have taken a home loan, its principal will also come under the purview of this section.
Is it necessary to check?
Check once whether you have invested up to Rs 1.5 lakh under section 80C. If your investment is less than this limit, then you should invest the rest before March 31.
Parul Maheshwari, Mumbai-based Certified Financial Planner, said, “It is important to see how much you have invested. You will get deduction only on the amount of investment you have made. This will reduce your overall tax liability.”

What to do if you have a PPF account?
If you have a PPF account, then check whether you have invested in it or not. A minimum contribution of Rs 500 is required in PPF every year. If you have taken Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), then in this also minimum contribution is necessary in the year. At least 250 rupees have to be contributed in this.
If your life insurance premium is pending, then you can pay it. With this your policy will continue and you will also get the benefit of deduction.
don’t be in a hurry
Yes, you do not need to take a home loan or buy a traditional life insurance policy in a hurry to save taxes. These are long term commitments. Therefore, it is right to decide about them after thinking.
Pankaj Mathpal, Founder and Managing Director, Optima Money Managers said, “If you are in a hurry, you can invest in tax saving schemes of NSCs and mutual funds.”
NPS is also a good option
If you have made full investment under 80C, then you can claim deduction under section 80CCG1B by investing an additional Rs 50,000 in NPS. ELSS schemes of mutual funds are suitable for investors who take little risk. But, since this investment is related to stocks, many investors can see the risk in it.
You can also save money with mediclaim policy
Tax exemption can be availed by spending Rs 25,000 annually on purchasing a mediclaim policy. You can buy a mediclaim policy for yourself, children and wife. You will get tax exemption on its premium up to Rs 25,000.
Deduction is allowed on premium of Rs 50,000 per annum for buying a mediclaim policy for senior citizens.
