Hi,

We are in the process of salary restructuring, which will help employees minimize their tax liability. I would appreciate it if anybody could provide me with a list of salary heads that are taxable and non-taxable.

Thanks & Regards, Sweta

In addition, the contribution towards NPS (10% of basic + DA) by the employer is also exempted from tax. This amount may be deducted from the CTC of the employees. Food coupons (max Rs. 2500/- per month) are also tax-exempt. Gift coupons up to Rs. 5000 per annum are also tax-exempt.
