The financial year 2016-17 is about to end. It is the time to clear and claim all the exemptions and deductions and reduce your tax liability for the year. When you employ effective tax planning strategies, you have more money to save or invest or both. The Income Tax department does not want complicated information. But it is always better to file the taxes now because by tax planning we can arrange your affairs in ways that would postpone or avoid taxes altogether.

8. NPS active

Before March 31 you have to make your National Pension Scheme active. NPS Tier I account holders have to make a minimum the contribution of Rs 1,000 every fiscal. Do not make contribution for 2016-17 before March 31 can get your account frozen.

9. Capital gain

If you have sold or transferred any immovable property, mutual funds, shares etc, during the financial year, then you have to compute the capital gains or losses on these transactions.

10. Form 16

In case you have changed employment during the financial year, you have to go back to your previous employer and collect the Form 16.

11. Education loan

Interest paid for education loan is eligible for tax deduction. If you are claiming an interest-paid deduction on an educational loan, you have to get a certificate of repayment made in the financial year where the interest is stated separately.
