|---|---|---|---|
| EPF (Employees' PF) | Till retirement | 8.15% | Low |
| PPF (Public PF) | 15 years | 7.1% | Very Low |

Tax Saved: At 30% slab, investing ₹1.5L in 80C saves ₹45,000 + ₹1,800 cess = ₹46,800 total savings!
HRA exemption is lowest of these 3 amounts:
- Actual HRA received from employer
- 50% of Basic Salary (for metro cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata)
OR 40% for non-metro cities - Rent paid minus 10% of Basic Salary
(Actual rent - 10% × Basic)
Example Calculation:
- Basic Salary: ₹60,000/month
- HRA Received: ₹24,000/month
- Rent Paid: ₹18,000/month (Mumbai - metro)
- Actual HRA = ₹24,000
- 50% of Basic = ₹30,000 (60,000 × 50%)
- Rent - 10% Basic = ₹12,000 (18,000 - 6,000)
- Lowest = ₹12,000/month = ₹1.44 lakhs/year exempt!
