I think, you need to understand the meaning of different terms used in computation of income under the head salary:
Conveyance Allowance - Given to employee for travelling within the city for the office purpose.
It is fully exempt on the basis of actual expense incurred.
Travelling Allowance - It is given to employee for travelling outside the city for the office purpose.
It is fully exempt on the basis of actual expense incurred.
Transport Allowance- It is given to employee for meeting his daily up-down jurney from office to home and vice-versa.
Rs. 800 p.m is fixed irrespective of the actual expenditure incurred by the employee.
Plz do ask, in case you still have any doubt.
