Dear Friends, Namasthee all. The relevant provision is Rule 3 of IT Rules. PH persons get double exemption of Transport Allowance that is available to normal persons(Rs 800), PHRs 1600. Pl. go through the said rule, right now I am not having it. It is available on net. My feeling is that a law cannot discriminate between govt employees and other private sector employees.One more thing, the dearness allowance on TA is not exempt. Niranjan
