Avoid Mis-Investment to Save Tax

We have received emails (even multiple reminders!) from our HR to provide proof of investment so that less or no tax is deducted from our salary in Jan, Feb & March.

Here is where we start the process of providing proof of investment from multiple sources (Get Premium Receipts, Home Loan Interest Certificate, ELSS Tax MF Statement, & So On). However, on realising that investment is not sufficient and without proper planning and understanding tax saved till date, we invest in tax saving investment which may or may not be considered for tax deduction, the investment done may or may not be aligned to our financial goal and risk tolerance. But we have already done mis-investment without thinking or planning.
