This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the taxability of travel expense reimbursements received by an Indian employee working remotely for a foreign company. Amounts spent on business travel within India are generally deductible, but any excess received is taxable and should be added to salary income. The suitability of ITR-1 is also addressed, with a recommendation to use ITR-2 if a Form 16 is not available.
