Sir
Recently exemption limit of transportation allowance increased from Rs 800 per month to Rs 1600 per month from salary for calculation of Income Tax. If I am getting transportation allowance Rs 800 + Rs 952 ( D.A. On Transportation allowance) per month, then whether I am eligible to deduct only Rs 800 per month or Rs 1600 per month from my salary for calculation of Income Tax.

Mishracpwd-I am not sure of DA on transport allowance. But currently the limit is raised from Rs.800 per month to Rs.1,600 per month. Considering this extension, discuss the same with your employer about DA on this allowance and in my view you can claim Rs.1,600 per month.
