Dear Sir
From some of the articles , I got that Minister salary is taxable under Salaries Head where as MLA Salary is taxable under Other Sources. Am I Correct or not .
HRA of Minister is exempt under which section ?
Minister Salary is ₹ 14000/-
House Rent Allowance is ₹ 1.00 Lacs , Entire amount is spent.
Exemption for HRA of the Minister is to be claimed under Section 10(13A) or Section 10(14) , Please clarify ?
No tax is deducted by the pay officer of the state govt. If HRA is taxable , u/s 10(13A), why tds was not deducted by the pay officer.
Please clarify ?

Taxation of ministerial remuneration: classification as salary or other sources determines HRA exemption and TDS obligations.
The document queries whether a state minister's remuneration is taxable as Salary Income or as Other Sources, and whether House Rent Allowance is exempt under Section 10(13A) or Section 10(14). It also raises whether the state pay officer is required to deduct tax at source on the salary or HRA where HRA is fully spent but no TDS was deducted. (AI Summary)
