Hello,

I need to file one of my contact ITR returns, In his Payslip there some allowances mentioned for which i am not sure they are exempted or not, Can be claimed under 10(14)(ii) Allowances to meet personal expenses in performance of duties of office or to compensate him for increased cost of living.

Below are the allowances which are like components of salary like fixed.

1. Canteen Subsidy

2. Office Maintenance allowances

3. Furniture allowances

4. Transportation allowance 

 

Please help which all i can take as exempted to save more tax. All these allowances are considered as taxable in form 16.

I already have form 16 i want clarity on these allowances. Office Maintenance allowance. I think these can be claimed in Section 10(14)(ii) as they do not have any office they keep their home as office and expenses related and their HRA component is also very small.

You can claim the expenses if the form 16 has specifically allowed it, otherwise there would be query from ITD, which you will not be able to justify in any other manner.
