Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the distinction between Section 9(1)(iii) and Section 10(7) of the Income Tax Act. While salary earned by Indian government employees serving abroad is taxable under Sec 9(1)(iii), allowances related to this foreign service are exempt under Sec 10(7). Therefore, only the base salary income is subject to tax in such cases.

If the Indian government employees(should be citizens of India) works outside India as government employees then salary from such services is taxable u/s 9(1)(iii) but all allowances are exempted to u/s 10(7). I.e only salary income is taxable.
Thank you
