Income Tax Incentives for 2014

 

Every year, during the last quarter of the financial year, we start worrying about the tax liability and ways and means to save tax. Tax planning should be part of an individual’s overall financial plan. If the financial planning is done properly, we do not have to worry about tax liability and thus save ourselves from investments in wrong product(s). Proper planning helps us in avoiding payment of tax by taking advantage of all the incentives available to us.

While the Government needs taxes to manage the country, it has given us some tax incentives so that we could end up paying lower or no tax at all with certain conditions. Government has given some tax incentives which one could take advantage of. Please remember that the returns vary. By diversifying, your returns will be higher thus helping you achieve your financial goals. It is advisable to take the help of a good financial planner/adviser who can help you identify products best suited to you depending on the time you have and your risk profile.

Under section 80 C, you have following options:-

  1. PF, voluntary PF - Amount can be withdrawn on retirement.
  2. PPF - Withdrawals after fifth year
