No.
As per Section 10(14)(i) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act), any allowance or benefit granted to the employees to meet expenses wholly, necessarily and exclusively towards performance of official duties (normally referred to as per diems) are exempt from tax, provided such an expense is actually incurred.
Not required to be reported.

Sir, thanks for the response.
You have mentioned about expenses occurred towards performance of official duties if they are actually incurred. But what if the per diem is more than what is required for such an expense, whether it is taxed and to be reported or not required.

Yes it will be taxed if you report any savings. Normally those receiving such allowance say they have spent more than the amount received and don't report any savings. No record need to be maintained on expenses. Mere declaration is enough.

Sir,
1. If there are certain savings from the above per diem and they are invested in Mutual funds, how are they reported in the ITR?
2. Is it that payment to be done through the 280 challan for that assessment year (or) Can payment be made in the current ITR mention the details in additional income column?
3. How are the mutual funds savings reported in ITR in general as they are subject to the Long Term Capital Gain Tax?
Please guide me in this. Thanks in advance.
