Dear Members

My company is giving me certain amount under the head of 'Special Allowance' in my salary slip and i am incurring some amount out of this amount in expenses like uniform and incurring some other expenses daily for office work. Can i claim that amount exemption while filing the ITR. Form 16 do not have details of this only mention 'Special Allowance'

I do not maintain any record of this expenses as such

Thanks in advance

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a 'Special Allowance' received from an employer can be claimed as an exemption under Section 10(14)(i) of the Income Tax Act. The original poster is incurring daily office-related expenses, such as for uniforms, from this allowance but has not kept records. Other members are questioning if the nature of the allowance is prescribed for exemption and suggest checking with HR or looking into specific allowances like the Special Security Allowance for Intelligence Bureau officers.
