Exemption on conveyance allowance

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

You may be able to claim a deduction for conveyance allowance when filing your personal income tax return, but it depends on the tax regime you choose. Recent amendments have integrated conveyance allowance into the standard deduction, meaning it's generally no longer claimable separately unless you are a physically disabled employee. Furthermore, the standard deduction, which now includes conveyance allowance, is only available under the old tax regime for the assessment year 2023-24.

25 July 2023 Have you followed form 16 while filing the return?
As per latest amendment the conveyance allowance has been submerged into standard deduction. So, it is not allowed separately (unless for physically disabled employee).
Secondly, standard deduction is available only under old tax regime (for AY 2023-24).
