05 April 2018 As you are all aware budget for 2018 has been enacted. Transport allowance Rs.19200/- ( Rs.1600 X 12) earlier exempt from Tax . However, as per new finance act the exemption has been withdrawn. Can any one help me in finding out the amendment in the official gazette with the relevant section.
