Recently received 30k and wondering what to do with it. Not yet a homeowner but also not sure if we’re ready to buy anyways. Have a young baby. Any advice on how to figure out best use?

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.
