Travel Allowance

Hi, this is Jitendra. Want to have your opinion on taxability of Travel Allowance or Daily Allowance if it is paid as a fixed lumpsum amount to cover food and other misc. expenses. Hotels and transportation are paid separately on actuals. Regards to you all.

How about if it is not paid based on actual expenses but as a fixed lumpsum amount ?

My question is that when someone is travelling on a business trip either in India or outside India and he gets a fixed lumpsum amount to cover for his food and other misc. costs (hotels and transportation are reimbursed separately on actuals), whether the same is taxable in the hands of the employee. Hope I am clear now. "
