Housing loan(But don't take loan for sale of saving tax alone)

NPS there are two sections. 80ccd1b and 80ccd1. If both these are used, provides good tax saving.

No, you need to have possession to claim tax benefit for interest payment

Possession needs to be in that FY to claim tax break

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

From stocks to crypto to NFT, which is the next big investment opportunity where we could be the early movers (investors) and make great returns? Love to hear them.

If anyone is interested in investing in crypto, I’m running a kickback campaign on Vauld, where both, you and I can reap benefits. You could also FD your crypto investments at interest rates as high as 12.68% for a few tokens.

Comment here or DM me personally if interested to talk further. Note that this crash is a great opportunity to enter. 😊
