the transport allowance given to all salaried employees should be completely tax exmpted instead of only Rs.800/month. At present central govt. employees are getting a max. of around Rs4,000/month as transport allowance. This should be exempted from income tax

for physically handicapped , who cannot use public transport system, the travel cost should be exempted on actuals or Govt. should make their travel cost free. A coolie charges 300 Rupess to get you out of platform on wheel-chair or vice versa if you are travelling by Rajdhani. Rupees 150 is travelling by sleeper class. Autorikshaw driver hold handicapped to ransom as they know thes people have no option to walk away or use public transport especially in villages and Thane dist. A car and driver hired for a month costs 25000 rupees. No Ramps are provided by Govt. in Railway stations to cross platforms,in govt. buildings,offices thus the scope of employment is very narrow for us but Govt. canningly snatch away the hard earned income earned by Handicapped people. Hope rediff will take up our cause.
