18 October 2009 All fixed allowances are taxable as components of salary in the hands of the employee.

All reimbursement of expenses are treated as perquisites and has to be calculated for each item.

18 October 2009 Thank You Sir.

But I wanted to understand then how can one take exemption of allowance u/s 10(14).Which provides for exemption to the extent the expenses ,like uniform,conveyance,helper ,are incurred for official purpose.
Do you mean that we need to take the exemption separately without it forming part of salary structure.

thanks

18 October 2009 Under each head you have to calculate the disallowance.

EG: Uniform allowance : 17000
(-) Less Spent : 7000
-------
Taxable 10000

Conveyance : 1000
(-) Spent : 600
-------
Taxable 400
