Sir,
I am a central govt. employee and I received ₹ 900/month as Transport /Conveyance Allowance. Out of ₹ 900, ₹ 400 is actual TA and rest of ₹ 400 is DA component of TA. My TA is 400+125% of 400 = 400+500=900.
What is want to know is IT exemption (which is currently ₹ 1600/month) is allowed only on the base TA or the whole of TA. I will get exemption as 400 per month or 900 per month
