Tips to save on taxes|
1. Rent paid but HRA not received:
You typically receive an HRA as part of your paycheck and treat the HRA as a primary tax-saving plan while you file taxes. However, there may also be a situation where it is not part of the employee's salary. In such a situation, the standard HRA deduction cannot be claimed and the taxpayer will not be able to claim benefits even if they are paying rent. Also, in such cases, the taxpayer must claim a tax benefit under Section 80GG.
To provide taxpayer benefits even when they did not receive an HRA, Section 80GG was introduced. Under this section, a taxpayer can claim a rent deduction even if they have not received an HRA. As per the following conditions:
That the individual is self-employed or receives a salary.
The HRA was not received at any time during the year for which the Section 80GG deduction was claimed.

3- Bank Savings Account Benefits:

In the case of the elderly, article 80 TTB applies.
The maximum limit u/s 80TTA is Rs. 10,000. Limit Rs. 10,000 is applied to the total interest earned on the savings bank account held by the resident.
