This query is : Resolved 

27 July 2010 As per my knowledge, the following allowances are exempted from tax while computing the income from salary in the normal cases.
1. HRA
2. Conveyance allowance - Rs. 800 pm
3. Medical Allowance - Rs. 1250/- pm
4. Telephone expenses and fuel expenses used for office purpose reimbursed by the company
5. Food allowance like Sodexho passes to the extent of Rs. 2000/- pm
6. Children education allowance (Rs. 100 pm) and hostel expenditure (Rs. 300/-)for 2 children

I came to know that some companies give to the employees basket of allowances over and above those mentioned above which are not taxable. Can anyone please tell me whether there are any other allowances which are exempted.

27 July 2010 Medical allowance is fully taxable.

Only Medical reimbursement upto a maximum of Rs. 15000/- per annum is exempt & that too against submission of bills by employee.

27 July 2010 THERE ARE LOTS OF ALLOWANCES AVAILABLEUNDER THE HAEDS OF SALARY. lIKE TRANSPORT ALLOWANCES- 800 PM,
TOUR & TRAVEL EXP, UNIFORM ALLOWANCES,
IT IS BETTER TO CHECK INCOME FROM SALARY FROM ANY BOOKS.

27 July 2010 Even HRA is not fully exempt.

27 July 2010 AGREED WITH EXPERTS.

MEDICAL ALLOWANCE EXEMPT UPTO RS. 15000 .
HRA IS EXEMPT LEAST OF FOLLOWEING
1. ACUTAL HRA
2. 50% /40% OF BASIC SALARY
