Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to calculate taxable salary income, breaking down basic salary, children's education allowance, and transport allowance. It highlights common calculation errors, particularly with allowances, and explains the application of standard deductions for different financial years. The correct taxable salary for FY 2018-19 is debated, with a focus on the ICAI's provided answer for FY 2019-20.

Basic salary 20000 @ 12months
  Basic Salary     20000x12    2,40,000.00
  Children Education Allowance    
  Child-1 Child-2 Child-3    
Received 1000 1000 1000 3000  
Exempt -1000 -1000 0 -2000          1,000.00
  Rs. 100 p.m. per child, upto 2 children is exempt
  Exemption cannot be over receipt amount  
  Always calculate child wise to avoid error   
  Generally mistake happens in this part only  
  Some may do 3000-(100x2x12)=600 taxable  
  Transport allowance   1800x12       21,600.00
             2,62,600.00
  Standard deduction         (50,000.00)
  Salary PY 19-20        2,12,600.00
Standard deduction for the financial year 2018 -2019 was 40000 hence taxable salary will be 222600

Yes.

But i presumed the querist as a student and this MCQ is given in the study material of ICAI for May/Nov 2020 where answer is 212600 as per PY 2019-20. So i solved accordingly.
