I refer to the news item of money control.com for clear clarification. Does this mean that perks meant in the news item refer to only transport allowance and medical expenses and others are taxable

Yes. Only transportation allowance and reimbursement of medical expenses were replaced by standard deduction of Rs. 40,000. other perks are taxable as usual.
