FBT Allowances
by BS Harneja on Nov 26, 2007 04:08 PM

Can the various allowances/ reimbursements falling under FBT be paid to an employee as allowances alongwith the salary/ HRA (one cheque inclusive of all), the employee be asked to submit a declaration that he has spent these for the respective purposes, and thus making them tax free in the hands of the employee, and the employer pays FBT. The employee thus is solely responsile for the correctnss of the declaration. OR is the employee supposed to claim these as reimbursements separately after spending on various purposes.

Dear All,
I am not an agriculturist by profession. I purchased 18 acres of land for Rs.50,000 and sold the same after 11 months of purchase for Rs.22,00,000. Do I have to pay tax on surpulus receipts. How do I come to know weather the land is agricultural or not.

HR department took our tax declaration in which I have not shown HRA but I am definitely claiming that in this financial year at around Rs.90,000/- I am staying in my fathers flat but would they cut my TDS to that extent per month.

RE:How to save tax

If you are staying in your father's flat,plz show a rent receipt to get exemption in HRA.You can get your entire HRA exempt but for that you will have to show a rent receipt of Rs 7500 per month.This will ensure that rent paid less 10 % of your salary (taken as Rs 12,500 pm here) is equal to your HRA.Also I assume that you are living in a metro,otherwise the max exemption available on HRA will be 40 % of your salary,that is Rs 5000 pm only.Besides,plz ensure that you invest such that you can claim deduction of rs 1 lac under sec 80C.This of course,will include your own PF contribution.You may invest in ELSS,PPF,NSC,repayment of home loan principal,etc.
