15 March 2024 Hi Sir,

Can we add Internet Allowance as a salary component for CTC, and can employees get any exemption from that if they submit internet bills? If this is possible, please provide information on the following points:

1. Under which income tax section will this fall?
2. Is there an amount limit for the internet allowance?

thanks in advance

15 March 2024 1 Under section 10 such reimbursement of actual expenses exempt from tax.
2 If it's paid as allowance it's taxable.

The Income Tax Act under section 10, all telephone/internet reimbursements employees claim for conducting their official duties are not taxable.
