28 February 2012 It's optional for the company to provide Uniform allowance. it depends upon company policy. If any employee get Uniform allowance
it exempt at certain limit below whichever lower:-
1) Amt received from Employer
2) Bill for amt spend for uniform

There is no limit decide by IT Act 1961
