Exemption U/s.10

This query is : Resolved 

27 January 2010 Dear Sir/Madam,
I wish to clarify on doubt relating to Exemtion U/s.10.i.e.I come to know
1.Any amount given by the employer towards Computer/Laptop allowance as exempt.
2.Food coupon issued by employer is also exempt from tax.Is it really allowed by the dept?

If so what is the maximum Limit of each allowance?

27 January 2010 As per sec.10(14) allowance based on the actual expenditure by the employee is exempted to the extent of the amount utilised for the specified purpose for which the allowance is received.so in your query also allowance towards computer/laptop is exempted to the extent of usage of offical purpose

Food coupons are exempted up to Rs.50 per meal during the office hours

27 January 2010 I don't think computer/Laptop allowance is u/s 10(14). As there is no method to calculate the exp for office and no method provided by deptt for this. So as per my concern computer allowance is taxable.
for food coupon if it is provided in office during office hours then exempt upto 50/-

27 January 2010 Section 10 (14) is not metioned any named allowance. As per this section we need to considered the purpose of allowance. as I agree there is no method is provided by the department but if there is a reasonable justification is there for usage of offical purpose the portion of offical purpose we can claim exemption

28 January 2010 Dear Mr.Ramesh,
As per your reply, Computer allowance is exempt to the extent of official usage.Is it require any proof?.As computer allowance is exempt from Tax some IT Professional make 50% as computer allowance in their salary Break up.So that they will claim more exemption.How the dept. will allow this type of allowance?.& How they will regulate it?
