YOUR TAXABLE INCOME IS 3.8 -1.1 LACS, I.E. 2.7 LACS, OF THIS YOU CAN CLAIM 80C BENEFITS BY INVESTING 1 LAC IN RELATED INVESTMENTS, WHICH ARE HAVING I.T. EXEMPTIONS UNDER 80C - THESE ARE LIKE LIC, OTHER INSURANCE SCHEMES, PPF, AND ELSS - MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES. THEN ON THE BALANCE 1.7 LAC, NO WAY OUT YOU HAVE TO PAY THE TAX WHICH WILL BE ABOUT Rs.2000/-.

Lots of deductions available to you. If you contribute to insurance, if you have a home loan, if your kids go to school or colleges the tution fee paid id deductible. SO just visit a tax practitioner he may help you.
