Also to add to this there are two deductions shown under Provident Fund and Gratuity. I believe Gratutiy cannot be shown as deductions?

If I understand your question correctly, you want to pick up some allowances from this flexible basket to help reduce your income tax.
If yes, then I would advise you to pick following:
1. HRA (this is the biggest fish - will help you reduce tax a lot if you stay in a rented house).
2. Meal allowance (Upo 3000 INR per month are tax free if you receive meal coupons like Sodex-ho or ticket restaurant) - You can even use them for buying grocery and at restaurants outside office).
3. Domiciliary medical allowance (Upto 15000 per year is tax free if you submit chemist/doctor bills)
4. LTA (This amount is tax free if you submit the bills for your travel - only 1 permitted in block of 2 year but family can be included).
5. Children education allowance (if you have children - not a big factor in saving income tax though)
Let me know if you need more information.
