This research examines the influence of tax planning on the investment behavior of salaried individuals in Bengaluru City. Tax planning, a vital aspect of financial management, helps individuals optimize their tax liabilities while guiding their investment choices. The study focuses on understanding how salaried professionals utilize tax-saving instruments under Indian tax laws, such as exemptions, deductions, and tax-benefit-linked investments. It aims to uncover whether tax planning strategies significantly affect the types and patterns of investments made by these individuals. The study is based on data collected from 100 salaried individuals from various professional and income backgrounds in Bengaluru. Using statistical tools such as Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and the Friedman test, the research explores correlations between tax-saving awareness and investment decisions. The results indicate that while basic tax-saving options, like Section 80C investments, are commonly used, there is a lack of understanding of more advanced tax planning strategies, which limits the optimization of tax-related investment opportunities. The findings suggest that tax planning plays a key role in shaping investment behavior, but the potential benefits are not fully realized due to gaps in financial knowledge. The study recommends increasing financial literacy and providing targeted advisory services to help salaried individuals make more informed investment decisions that align with their tax-saving goals.
