India\u2019s growth in GDP is estimated to be around 7% and it is expected to go up by another 5-6%. India has also seen a significant rise in its per capita income for most of its population, with only the top 10% not experiencing this change. With such rapid economic development, India needs to keep track of all investments made by taxpayers so as to ensure they are paying their taxes accordingly. India follows the same rules as other countries do with respect to tax deductions and reporting on investments made by individuals and companies. This article will provide details about how you can make your investment declaration correctly under Tax Slabs for Individuals India and how you can save tax India by simply declaring your investments in India.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that India followed was the Report of the High-Level Tax Panel India (HLTP) in order to reduce the complexity, as well as improve tax compliance, considering India\u2019s population as a whole. One such way suggested by this panel was India\u2019s new ITR forms India should make filing income taxes easy and simple for individuals living in India. Thus came into existence the new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/income-tax-return\/\">Income Tax Return<\/a><\/strong> forms ITR4, ITR5, and others which replace all previous individual income tax return formats and simplify them to make it easier for people to file their taxes from India for FY 2016-17. Form 12BB is one such form that has been introduced which helps an individual India to declare their Investment India.<\/p>\n<p>Before you can complete your Investment Declaration India, it is important that you get all the details right so as to avoid any hassles later. You should also get clarity on certain sections of Form 12BB India before you start filing your taxes in India. The earlier sections in the form are about personal information and basic salary income tax deductions in India while the other parts will be about investment-related deductions in India.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/form-12bb\/#Form_12BB\" title=\"Form 12BB\">Form 12BB<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/form-12bb\/#Generate_Form_12BB\" title=\"Generate Form 12BB\">Generate Form 12BB<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/form-12bb\/#Deductions_under_Section_80C_80CCC_80CCD\" title=\"Deductions under Section 80C, 80CCC, 80CCD\">Deductions under Section 80C, 80CCC, 80CCD<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/form-12bb\/#Deductions_under_other_sections_like_80E_80G_80TTA_etc\" title=\"Deductions under other sections like 80E, 80G, 80TTA, etc.\">Deductions under other sections like 80E, 80G, 80TTA, etc.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/form-12bb\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions\" title=\"Frequently Asked Questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Form_12BB\"><\/span><strong>Form 12BB<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Form 12BB is a statement of an employee&#8217;s claims for tax deductions.
