14 July 2013 My employer has provided Transport All exemption @ 800 PM but the actual expense is much higher . Can I claim the balance while filing online return ?

Secondly, my employer has not considered tax free telephone allowance but I am having post paid bill copies with me. Can I take the benefit while filing the return ?

Thanks/ Rahul Yadav

14 July 2013 Hello,

Ans (1):-Exemption limit is upto Rs.800/- PM, so you cannot claim for higher exemption.

Ans (2): -Telephone allowance is not exempted, however reimbursement of telephone expenditure is exempted.
