Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to clarify on doubt relating to Exemtion U/s.10.i.e.I come to know 1.Any amount given by the employer towards Computer/Laptop allowance as exempt. 2.Food coupon issued by employer is also exempt from tax.Is it really allowed by the dept?
If so what is the maximum Limit of each allowance? S.jegadeesan

As per sec.10(14) allowance based on the actual expenditure by the employee is exempted to the extent of the amount utilised for the specified purpose for which the allowance is received.so in your query also allowance towards computer/laptop is exempted to the extent of usage of offical purpose
Food coupons are exempted up to Rs.50 per meal during the office hours

I don't think computer/Laptop allowance is u/s 10(14). As there is no method to calculate the exp for office and no method provided by deptt for this. So as per my concern computer allowance is taxable. for food coupon if it is provided in office during office hours then exempt upto 50/-

Section 10 (14) is not metioned any named allowance. As per this section we need to considered the purpose of allowance. as I agree there is no method is provided by the department but if there is a reasonable justification is there for usage of offical purpose the portion of offical purpose we can claim exemption
