Travel expense given by employer

My employer bears the cost of my travel and any expenses incurred during the trip [for business trips] 

And he also gives me an allowance for taking personal trips in a year.

What of this will I have to pay tax on?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of travel expenses provided by an employer. While business trip costs are generally not considered taxable income, personal trip allowances may be subject to tax if they exceed the annual exemption limit. It's important to ensure these allowances are correctly declared on your Form 16.

Travel expense by employer.

The tax exemption limit for transport allowance was Rs. 1,600 per month (Rs. 19,200 annually) based on previous regulations. If the received amount is above this exemption limit, the excess amount is taxable.

The present scenario is different.
For the payment of business trip, it's not your income...

For Your personal trip allowance exemption limit is 1600*12. Of it's exceeds then it's taxable in Your hand.
And this must be shown in form 16 to claim...
