Hi... Thanks for the reply..But my query is which rule Number in the incometax book states that DA is to be considered under the head salary.Also only those components under the head salary is to be considered to be taxed..Also if DA is a taxable income for the services provided then it should fall under servuice tax and not income tax?Can you pls clarify
Hi The income tax rule book specifies that only the Income specified under the SALARY will be considered for computing the income tax of a salried official.However under the head SALARY in the rule book ther is NO mention of dearness allownce as a part of the salary.Then why should we consider the DA as apart of the salary.Further DA is NOT a income and is a allowance that may be sacnctioned by the employer.Can you please clarify on this specifying the rule number where it says that DA is a part and parcel of salary
