@ ankit, i am not arguing with u here,
Nowhere do salaried class get a deduction for their expenses, which are in a major way connected to earning the salary, like good clothes, shoes, travel to their office (i am not talking palrty allowance covered by 10(14) when petrol was RS.30 a litre). etc.
Today a shirt costs Rs.500 and food we eat during office hoursc osts at least Rs.40.... is that not incurring an expense? Where is the deduction to salaried people?
I am not asking for 1 lakh standard, deduction, even a moderate figure like 15,000 - 30,000, (being close to Rs.2000 expenses in a month), will be fine. Real income is not matched by real expenses.
Its not an outrageous demand, it was there in the old provisions.
