07 January 2014 Dear Neha,

As per section 37, expenses of personal nature cannot be claimed as an expense.

since the common expenses such as telephone cannot be bifurcated, the officer usually makes an adhoc disallowance of 25-30% as being of personal in nature.

however, you can argue for your case and convince him that there are no expenses of personal nature and that everything is official in nature, and as such the full amount should be allowed

08 January 2014 no...there is a case law...
