229 views 2 replies
Hi,
I am an employee working in a private company. my employer has not provided the following benefits in my flexi pay which will help in claiming more tax benefit :
- Telephone / Broadband Allowance,
- Gadget Reimbursement,
- Newspaper / Magazine Allowance,
since my employer has failed to make provisions for the expense mentioned and we understand there is a provision in Income tax where the employee can claim the tax benefit to an extent there is an expense under the mentioned heads.,
Can you please suggest how can I claim those benefit and doesn't become the victim of my employers ignorance ? please suggest. I have written to my employer about the provisions but looks like going to the deaf ears.... please suggest.

Since the employer would have considered such allowances as taxable for the purpose of form 16, it cannot be done in case of salaried assessees, without revising the data for form 16.

However, as the time limit for filing of TDS return (by the employer) is not yet over, your employer has an option to make changes in this regard. Even if the time limit was over, TDS return could be revised to incorporate these changes. But the revision can only be done by the employer.

Thanks unfortunately ... employer doesn't understand much and doesn't want to pass on these benefits to employees...
