    hi priyanka in response to ur query i would like to ask u certain questions
    this salary is for the year ended on 31.3.2011 or u r going to receive it in the current financial year 2011-2012
    anyways for now assuming that u have already recd the salary for the last year @ 356000 the tax applicability will be as follows
    upto 190000 no tax
    thereafter 10%
    so to calculate in ur case
    356000-190000
    166000 * 10/100
    16600 tax due

    now if u have a investment of say 100000

    356000-100000-190000
    66000 * 10/100
    6600
    so even if u make an investemnt of rs 100000 still the tax payable is 6600

    pl feel free to contact me for future queries or filing of returns

    Dear Priyanka,

    To calculate exact tax on ur salary @360000 . Ur salary slip consists of several heads 1) Basic 2) HRA 3)Conveyance 4)Special allowance 5) Medical bill reimbursements etc. Out of all these components :- HRA / Conveyance (@800rs pm 9600 pa)/Medical bills reimbursements (@1250 pm or 1500pa )are not taxable so reduce them from 356000. for example if HRA is 6000pm (i.e 72000 pa) then reduce from 360000 HRA and Conveyance and med reimb.

    356000-72000-9600-15000 = 259400
    Now to calculate tax on it assuming it was ur last year’s salary

    0-190000 — zero tax
    190000-259400 — (69400 @10%) 6940/- + cess3% 208/-

    total tax 7148/- rupees
    To save tax you may save mone in various instruments like NSC bonds, Insurance policies etc.
