Dear Prof Vaswani, Your feedback is interesting and timely.
Can you please educate me on how to claim this higher exemption from the employer ? Do you have any circulars pertaining to this ? And, more importantly, is this exemption only for PWDs working in the Government sector ? Appreciate if you could throw some light on this quickly as my Payroll team has just announced the last date for submitting all IT-related documents. Thanks and rgds RS + 98 472 76 126 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of manohar vaswani Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 4:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Income Tax on Transport Allowance. dear mr. biswas the income tax exemption on TRA. is not restricted to orthopedic handicapped persons.
