30 July 2013 If you are in business then you can debit all expenses in your business and shall be allowed as an expense.

If you are salaried person then the provisions of section 10(14) WILL APPLY and accordingly the deduction will be allowed

(ii) Any such allowance granted to the assessee either to meet his personal expenses at the place where the duties of his office or employment of profit are ordinarily performed by him or at the place where he ordinarily resides, or to compensate him for the increased cost of living, as may be prescribed and to the extent as may be prescribed.

Provided that nothing in sub-clause (ii) shall apply to any allowance in the nature of personal allowance granted to the assessee to remunerate or compensate him for performing duties of a special nature relating to his office or employment unless such allowance is related to the place of his posting or residence;
