08 February 2016 Dear Sir,
I would like to know whether DA on Transport Allowance is Taxable or exempted.
Non Taxable of Transport Allowance at Rs. 800/- Per month increased upto Rs. 1600/- Per month (from FY: 2015-16), a person gets Tr. Allow @ Rs. 800/- and DA on Tr. Allow is Rs. 952/- (Total: Rs. 1752/-). So, in this case, can he avail benefit of Rs. 1600/- per month or Rs. 800/- per month ?
Plz suggest asap, as I have not got clear picture of this issue from the Government Notification.

Thankx in Advance.

08 February 2016 Only transport allowance is exempt. Other allowances which are calculated as a percentage of transport allowance is NOT exempt. Accordingly DA, which is calculated as a percentage of transport allowance is NOT exempt.
