21 July 2012 First of all I would like to tell you that Conveyance Allowance is an exempted allowance upto INR 800 per month, it is not a deduction.

If you talk about deductions, section 80C and 80D are widely used by salaried employees.

Under section 80C you can claim PF, PPF, LIC, FD, etc. Maximum limit is INR 100000/-

80D for Health Insurance.

Apart from above, salaried employees are also getting the benefit of HRA. Here you can get the benefit of Rent paid to landlord, if you are getting HRA.

21 July 2012 If your annual salary is INR 120000/- then there is no reason to worry.
First of all you are not mandatorily required to file ITR.
Secondly even if you show all the income as taxable, then also no tax liability is going to arise.

If still you want to claim the benefit of Conveyance allowance you will have to refer your salary slip. If the amt is mentioned there, it is exempt upto a max of 800 p.m.
