I have perused your pay slip and computation of taxable income.
Allowance being taxed are HRA(partly subject to conditions),other allowances.
Kindly refer above link for understanding and planning your taxes.
Scope to make tax burden lesser includes increase your PF subscription which is easiest and safest investment.

Since all amounts other than Basic and HRA is put under other allowance, I presume the exemption of Rs.8960 is towards transport allowance.
