Dear Ankit

                 My employer requires that employees submit bills for Medical,Telephone  and Uniform(laundry expenses).

In My view, 1. there is no term called car allowance under income tax act, so it can be taken as special allowance and taxable in the hands of employee. 2. Driver salary is covered under FBT provision and accordingly employer is liable for FBT. 3. Telephone allowance is exempt. 4.Transport allowance is exempt up to Rs. 600 Per Month. 5. Uniform allowane is wholly exempt.
