Since we are mentioning subreddits, I'll through out r/personalfinance. They have a "prime directive" flow chart for how to handle money that I've found valuable and easy to understand for beginners. I wouldn't consider myself a beginner but I still refer to it occasionally and share it with people who are interested in bettering their financial situation. It doesn't talk about specific stocks or anything like that, but does give good advice on where to allocate money. A good idea is to work your way through the flow chart and get to the end. When you get to the last few options (non tax advantaged accounts/big purchases), then you are probably at a point where additional investment knowledge would be useful.

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
