An individual working for an NGO is seeking clarification on TDS deductions for travel reimbursements. While salary TDS under Section 192 is deducted, the NGO has also deducted TDS under Section 194J on reimbursed airfare, lodging, boarding, and local expenses. The individual wants to know if they can claim exemption under Section 10(14)(i) for these reimbursements and which Income Tax Return (ITR) form (ITR 1, 2, 3, or 4) is appropriate given their salary, interest income, and these reimbursements.
