according to the definition of allowance given in Income tax act it is 100% Taxable it will be included in your salary
but according the the income tax rule if the telephone allawance is the perqisites than it will be exempt , that means it will not included in your salary
but the main problem is that practically how would you you recognize that it will be the perqiuisites or allawance for giving the exemption.
solution if it is inculded in the salary sheet that means it is allawnace and it will be taxable 100% and if it is not in the salary sheet it is called perquisites and it shall be exempt

1.Reimbursement of mobile phone bills is not a taxable perquisite
by virtue of proviso to Rule 3(7)(ix).
2. If the telephone allowance is for official purpose, exemption may be claimed u/s 10(14)
to the extent of amount spent for official purpose
3. Otherwise taxable.

Telephone allowance is 100% taxable. There is a diff. b/w allowance and perq. Free telephone facility available is a diff. thing and a seperate telephone allowance in addition to salary is different. That's my opinion. May be I am wrong. |

Yes it is 100% taxable because it is fixed allowance. if it is reimbursement or providing it is not taxable.

Do no term it as Allowance....
The better is to give as a reimbursement to the employee on show of the bill. So that wont be taxable to employee and now since FBT is not there company is also safe.
