Exempt perquisites in salary

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to report exempt perquisites included in your salary on your Income Tax Return (ITR). Allowances exempt under Section 10 are generally shown in Tab 3 of the Salary Schedule. However, some, like specific medical reimbursements, might need to be declared in Schedule EI. The key is to check how it's reflected in your Form 16; if it's shown as a tax-free perquisite, use the Salary Schedule, otherwise, Schedule EI is the correct place.
