Answer 3

Just think of it.
If only every citizen thinks like you
what will happen to the exchequer
no tax revenue
country will become poor
you become rich at the cost of the nation
is this patriotism

save reasonably
and
pay the tax reasonably

this is what the Govt. wants from every responsible citizen

I will very strongly advise you to save only up to the 1 lakh under 88 C

and pay the tax for the rest of the income
& take a Pan No.

have a clear conscience and be a proud Indian

this is what I do.

If you still want to save to make you tax zero,

there are umpteen no of CAs waiting for people like you
