DEAR CCI MEMBERS, MY EMPLOYER HAS NOT SHOWED ANY EXEMPTED ALLOWANCE IN FORM16 . KINDLY LET ME KNOW IF STILL I CAN CLAIM FOR EXEMPTED ALLOWANCE . THEY HAVE JUST MENTIONED AS PERS PAY ALLOWANCES UNDER THE TAXABLE SALARY HEAD.

If their Salary Structure includes any allowances which are exempt then only you can claim it even if same is not shown in form 16.
For example if in Salary Slip they are showing transport allowance as but the same is not shown as deduction in form 16 you can claim deduction in your return up to Max of Rs 800 per month. Hope its clear now.
