Hi Meesha, As far as my understanding goes, although conveyance allowance is no longer tax exempt for ordinary citizens but the relevant section 10 (14) Rule2BB hasn't been scrapped. Therefore, the deduction for conveyance allowance should still hold true for persons with disabilities.
My ITR has been processed for this year, while filing the return, I had to manually add a row and choose other allowances under Secton 10 and write the description as "Conveyance Allowance exempt under Sec 10(14) for blind" and amount (38400). If there isn't any section of Conveyance allowance in your form16 then you may not claim the deduction for that particular year. Following URL should help you. https://enabled.in/wp/income-tax-deductions-persons-disabilities-2019-update/ Do get back if you have any issues.
