Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Rs 50,000 entertainment allowance exemption for government salary individuals, specifically army personnel filing their Income Tax Return (ITR). While Rs 50,000 is auto-filled, the actual exemption for entertainment allowance is the lowest of the actual allowance received, Rs 5,000, or one-fifth of the basic salary. It's important to verify if the deduction relates to entertainment allowance or pension, as the Rs 50,000 figure might pertain to pension amounts.

Entertainment allowance can be exempted as follows lower of the following...

1. Actual entertainment allowance received

2. 5000 rupees

3. 1/5th of salary
Entertainment Allowance:

Employees are allowed the lowest of the declared amount one-fifth of basic salary, actual amount received as allowance or Rs. 5,000.

This is an allowance provided to employees to reimburse the expenses incurred on the hospitality of customers.
U must reconfirm if the deduction is against entertainment allowance or the pension amount.

i think 50000 deduction must be against pension amount
