Allowances differ from one company to the other. Transport Allowance is a personal employee benefit that is provided to an employee to meet expenditure on commuting between home and work place.
Transport Allowance up to ₹1600 per month is tax free
Various companies in India provide free cab facilities for pick-up and drop-off for their employees in which case this allowance is not provided additionally by that organisation.
In other cases, employers pay their employees Transport Allowance. As per the Income Tax Act/Rule Section 10(14) in India, Rs. 1,600 per month is tax exempted for an employee on submitting receipts to support their spends on fuel & travel.
Today the process is mostly done manually. Employees pay for fuel using their own credit/debit card or by cash, they collect the paper bills and bring it back to the office to submit for reimbursement.
