This discussion clarifies whether internet and fuel allowances can be claimed as deductions under India's new income tax regime. Generally, under the new regime, most allowances are taxable, and deductions are limited unless specifically permitted by the Income Tax Act. While allowances are reported under 'Income from Salary' in the ITR, specific conditions must be met for any available deductions.

In India, under the new tax regime effective from Assessment year 2021-22, allowances like Internet allowances and fuel allowances can be claimed as deductions if they are part of your salary and meet specific conditions under the INcome Tax Act.

In the ITR form, allowances are usually reported under " Income from Salary". Specific deductions, if allowable, would be claimed based on the sections applicable.
