Dear ramakrishnaraju,

In Income Tax Act -
1) Transport Allowance - For commuting between Residence & place of work -
        Lower of the following is exempt -
                  a) Amount Received
                  b) Rs. 800/month (In case of Blind/Handicapped Employees - Rs. 1,600/month)
Now in this case actual expenditure is irrelevant, no need to collect bills/undertaking from employees..
2) Conveyance allowance - For performing official duties
           Lower of the following is exempt
                     a) Amount received
                      b) Amount Spent on performing duties
Now, in this case employer should collect proof of expenditure like bills/undertakings,etc
