Salaried taxpayers are eligible for many tax-advantaged benefits. Here are six benefits that can bring down the taxable component of the income from the employer. 

 

  • Leave travel assistance (LTA)

This is a reimbursement of expenses incurred on travel during a vacation. It is tax-free if claimed twice in a block of four years. 

  • NPS benefit

Under Sec 80CCD(2), up to 10% of the basic put in the NPS by the employer is tax deductible. This is over and above the deduction claimed under 80CCC and 80CCD(1b) for contributions to the NPS.

  • Fuel and vehicle expenses

Insurance and maintenance of car and driver salary add a nominal Rs 1,600 and Rs 900 to taxable salary. A car can be for official and personal use but fuel expenses reimbursed only if used for work. 

  • Newspapers, books magazines

The money spent on newspapers, books and magazines can be claimed as a tax-free reimbursement. This requires the submission of actual bills. 

  • Telecommunication bills
