26 August 2011 1) MLA's salary is taxable under the head 'income from other sources'.
2) Allowance of MLA's are exempt from income tax under section 10(17)(i) and (ii) of the IT Act,1961.
3) Therefore, taxable income is Rs. 3,45,000/-.

26 August 2011 No section as such. My observation can be seen in page 13 of "Taxation of salaried employees, pensioners and senior citizen" a publication of INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT.
