<h1>Transport Allowances for Central Govt Employees Not Tax-Exempt u/s 10(14)(i), Must Be Included in Taxable Income.</h1> The circular clarifies the taxability of transport allowances provided to Central Government employees as recommended by the Fifth Central Pay Commission. It states that such allowances, intended to cover commuting costs between home and work, do not qualify for tax exemption under section 10(14)(i) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, as they are not expenses incurred exclusively for official duties. Consequently, these allowances should be included in taxable income, and tax should be deducted at source accordingly. This directive is to be communicated to all relevant parties responsible for payroll and tax deductions.
