OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Exemption of Transport Allowance from the purview of Income Tax- Enhancement of exemption limit from Rs. 800/- to Rs. 3200/- plus D.A. thereon.
The undersigned is directed to draw the attention of the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) Central Board of Direct Taxes towards para 5.2(10) (i) at page 14 of their circular No. 05/2011 dated 16.08.2011 wherein it has been specified that the transport allowance granted to an employee to meet his expenditure for the purpose of commuting between the place of his residence and the place of duty is exempt to the extent of Rs. 800/- per month.

Representations are being received in the Ministry of Railways from various federations of Railways. The Federations have represented that Transport Allowance was introduced with the concept of providing financial support to the Central Government Employees who incur considerable amounts for their day-to-day travel from their residence to the work place. This had materialized based on the recommendations of the V CPC which introduced Transport Allowance in 3 slabs at the rate of Rs.100. Rs.400 and Rs.800, based on the classification of the cities/towns under Urban Agglomeration Act. Further, a prerequisite was introduced to allow this facility for those who stay beyond 1 km radius from the place of work.

A decision was taken to equate such allowance on par with normal Travelling/Daily Allowance and these amounts have also been exempted from computation of annual income and exempted from the purview of Income Tax vide Income Tax (Eighth Amendment) Rules, 1995 notified vide F.No.142/9/95-TPL dt. 7-7-1995.
The VI CPC, while reviewing the system of grant of Transport Allowance has recommended to enhance the same from Rs.100 to Rs.800,  Rs.400 to Rs.1600 and Rs.800 to Rs.3200, for Pay Bands 1 to 4 respectively. The City Compensatory Allowance was Withdrawn. It was also recommended to provide the coverage of DA. to Transport Allowance as per increase in the Consumer Price Index.
Ministry of Finance are therefore requested to include the request of the Railways for taking due action for enhancing exemption of Transport Allowance from the purview of Income Tax from Rs. 800/- to Rs. 3200/- plus DA Thereon.

India Post Stall at the Philately Exhibition organized by Sri Lanka Post

Colombo, 13 October, (Asiantribune.com):
India Post participated in the Philately Exhibition organized by Sri Lanka Post from 6 -10 October 2012 to mark the World Post Day celebrated across the world every year on 9 October.
A two member delegation from India Post led by Mrs. Meera Handa, Deputy Director Department of Posts, India participated in the Philately Exhibition by exhibiting some of the iconic stamps issued by India Post over the years.
There was also a sales counter to sell some of the recently issued Indian Stamps, First Day Covers and Miniature Sheets.
The Miniature Sheets on 2550 years of Mahaparinirvana of the Buddha, the stamp on Mahatama Gandhi printed on Khadi cloth, the first day covers issued on the Hundred Years of Civil Aviation in India and the London Olympics were some of the issues which received wide appreciation from a cross section of philatelists, members of the public and a large number of School children who visited the India Post stalls during the period.
The India Post delegation also appreciated the support received from Sri Lanka Post and Secretary, Ministry of Postal Services, Government of Sri Lanka, in facilitating the exhibition and sale of Indian stamps. Sri Lanka Post, Ministry of Postal Services, Government of Sri Lanka, had issued a special postal stamp in the denomination of Rupees 5 and a First Day Cover on 7 May 2011 to commemorate 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
The two sides also agreed to participate in similar events in the future and to work towards release of joint stamps to mark important occasions in the multi-faceted and dynamic India-Sri Lanka relationship.
