With the annual filing season causing anxiety across Kerala, Manorama Sampadyam publishes its famous "Tax Planner" issue every January/February. This edition breaks down the old vs. new tax regime, deductions under Section 80C, 80D (health insurance), home loan benefits, and even capital gains taxation. It often includes ready-to-use checklists and forms.
