itr 4 will be applicable in your case... s.tax will be allowable exp. since he wont have a s.tax no.... no adhoc exemption but expenses can be claimed to the extent actually incurred or a lump sum amt (not more than what is normally incurred).

Thanks dear Tribhuvan A Singh, here I would request you to refer the CBDT CIRCULAR NO.648 DATED 30-03-1993, which states deductions admissible to an LIC Agent. Would you pl clarify if the same circular is applicable to the other Private Insurance companies under IRDA also. If not any similar provisions please
