As per Section 16(i)(ia), standard deduction refers to a straight reduction of salary income up to Rs.40,000/-. To get the deduction, a taxpayer should be salaried or pensioner only. Unlike any other allowance, an employer is not required to submit any bill or expense vouchers for claiming the deduction. The maximum deduction is Rs.40,000/- only.If a taxpayer’s income is less than Rs.40,000/- under the head “Income From Salary” and his total income exceeds Rs.2,50,000/-. Than such taxpayer can claim his total salary income as standard deduction and file tax return.
