hi,
i ve the following doubts w.r.t to CTC
1. Telephone reimbursement -
- If this component is a part of the CTC, can an employee get tax exemption for the entire amt as per the bill?
- assuming the employer pays a percentage, say 75% of the bill, can the employee still tax exemptiion for the 100% amt?
2. Dress/Uniform Allowance/reimbursement:
-can this applicable to all employees?
-is there any limit for the maximum amt that can be exempted on production of bills, or can v avail the exemption for any amt?
3. Car Allowance/reimbursement:
- can the employee claim tax exemption for the reimbursement of fuel,maintainence and driver's salary, even if the car is not in his/her name but is in the name of his/her family member?
- what is the limit for this exemption?

Hi Deepthi,
The term REIMBURSEMENT itself means you need to substantiate with evidences i.e. the bills for the amount spent. If the amount is less than the entitlement you will have to pay tax on the balance.
With respect to Dress/uniform Allowance, this can be applicable to all the employees. Yes there is an upper limit on the amount.
Car allowance can be extended from a specific band or level in the organisation. It is mandatory that the car should be registered on the employees name. Also please keep in mind that no other allowance in the salary structure should exceed Basic. Limit on Car Allowance can be decided by the Management or person designing the comp & ben structure. It can be a fixed amount for all levels above a Manager.
