In ITR-2, section PARTB-TI-TII, towards the bottom, in Schedule S, you are to fill salary details. It has separate rows for Salary, Allowances exempt under Section 10 (Rs. 9600). However, I find that this exempted allowance is not deducted from the final Income chargeable under Head Salaries in this form (nor is the tax on employment of Rs. 2500 deducted), increasing the tax liability. This is different from my Form 16, since it accounts for both Rs. 9600 and Rs. 2500 additional deductions, while ITR-2 does not.
Anyone noticed this? Am I doing something wrong here?
