One should diversify into various tax-saving instruments according to his/her age, needs, goals and risk-appetite. Here we give you an insight into the various avenues available to save your taxes and also the various asset allocations for different life stages.These investments have been specially put into an asset allocation based on specific Life Stage - and the risk and return that can be assumed during that Life Sage.

Single

A single person can take high risk as he is young and has no dependents. Further, there is no need of insurance in the case of a single, as he does not have any dependents. Based on your life stage, an ideal asset allocation has been designed for you to invest in various avenues Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act 1961.

ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Scheme) 80000
ULPP (Unit Linked Pension Plans) 15000
PPF (Public Provident Fund) 5000
Total 100000
Health Insurance 15000

This is an indicative allocation for the Rs 1 lakh limit under Section 80C. If you already have some investments under this section, the remaining amount can be invested in the ratio mentioned above.

Health Insurance - Section 80D
Avail a full utilisation of tax benefits on premium of Rs 15000 under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Section 80D benefit remains over and above Rs.1 lakh benefit of 80C.

For e.g. A premium of Rs. 15,000 is fully deductible under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. You would save Rs. 5099 on your tax payable.

We hope that the information would be useful for your Tax Planning.
