01 June 2011 In my salary i do not receive any conveyance allowance. but i Receive a allowance under head "special Allowance" for rs 2836 pm.

My question is :

I am professor teaching MBA at reputed Intitute. I spend Rs 1500 to commute from metro to college and back to attend daily offcie / college duties by bus provided by college and I pay Rs 1500 pm to college administration department.

Can I claim exemption of this amount? if yes how much ?

01 June 2011 restructuring is not possible as I am not in position to dictate terms. However if i understand correctly If I do not get conveyance allowance I can't get exemption.

Can I treat special allowance for this purpose?
