Is it possible to claim tax exemption on food card allowance that is provided in the salary and not loaded in any separate food card.

I saw some google posts where they are suggesting to add in the others section of except income.

Please suggest.

Income- tax Return

Hi, experts 
I was filing itr, so needed help, I started my job from May 2022, but before that I did an internship where I got salary credited to my account , it was around 1500 for one month (March) for this assessment year and also they did deduct a tds of around 300 rupees which I can see on my itr home page . So should I include those amount in my gross income while filing tds ( I have only included my current gross salary) ?

Just want to get inputs from those who freelance along with being salaried. I am wondering how people do ITR filing when they’re directly receiving payment from their clients abroad (inward remittance) on their own name (no company created for offering ur service) as well as have their monthly salary ? As much as I’ve read you would be filing ITR-4 but then wouldn’t this reveal to ur current or next employer that u worked 2 places?
Really curious to know as it’s ITR filing time.

Wouldn’t ITR be a mess for salaried employee who also freelances?

Hello finance experts, 

I am filing itr for first time actually I Have got money credited from two places one tds comes under section 192 which is my salary account and other from where I did intern which is 194JA which is related to professional or technical services provided now ? Help me choosing which itr 1,2,3,4? And where should I add the other amount the salary amount is automatically comming under gross salary and I don't have form 16 for intern stipend although I can see that under my ais/tis and form 26as ?

It was a mistake that I selected the new regime thinking that it would be easy to switch back to old one during ITR Filing, but now I do not have proofs such as the premium amount paid (for parental and self insurance taken from company), sodexo vouchers received, since nothing is mentioned in the Form 16. Is my salary slip enough for showing as proof if I receive a notice, or is it necessary to have separate receipts for these deductions that I will be claiming? Anyone else in a similar condition as I am, please share your experience.

Last year, I was grinding away at the client's office. They're like the big shots in the textile game. Fast forward to a Saturday night, 8:30 PM, and we're finally wrapping up our work.

My girlfriend flew from Delhi and we decide to hit up this ultra-luxurious restaurant for dinner. We go all out, order everything that catches our eye, and to top it off, we decide to cap the night with this mind-blowing dessert that sets us back a solid 25,000.

When the bill arrives,I pay and then I shoot a reimbursement request to the client; stating to have a dinner with one of their major vendors, thinking it's all in good fun, right?

Well, guess what? Next day the client comes back and I receive a mail stating my reimbursement is approved! I'm sitting there, staring at my phone, thinking, Did I just stumble onto some secret business dinner expense loophole?

Seems like a fake story. And if True, speaks a great deal about the integrity of the folks EY employs. Good luck not getting caught

Later same year I joined other other company full time and received  regular salary and received another form 16.

I am working and filing ITR for the second time. This time I have claimed HRA (around 4L) against my mom. My mom is a housewife and she has no other income other than this rented income. Should I file ITR for Mom also?
I am aware that her salary falls below the tax exemption limit so taxes will get waived off if I am filing ITR for her by applying form 87A
What can be the consequences if I am not filing ITR for her?
Please anyone have experienced the same, please share your thoughts

Suggestion needed regarding filing ITR

I have been freelancing since Dec'23. They connected my account details via RIPPLING. They asked me to fill a form (W8-BEN) in which I had to add my PAN.

I pulled 26AS for 23-24 but not seeing anything from this company in there. 

Since this is my first time doing freelancing I'm not sure how to move from here. 
Should I add it as income from foreign sources? 
Or I need to do something else.


If someone has any experience in this field do enlighten me please 🙏

I will be filling ITR for the first time. How can I find a CA for the same. I’m in blr.

Where to find CA

I just started my first full time job and will be filing ITR for 1st time next year, no one in my family has been in high tax slab previously so not much experience from there :D

Some questions:

- Almost 50% of my base pay is getting used in paying EMIs (Mostly mortgage) of my family, nothing is on my name, all on father's name, is there a way to claim this in deduction ?

- We have our own house in a tier 3 city and I'm getting 30k/month as HRA, what will be safe HRA amount to claim ?

- Can we claim any other expenses in deduction ? Leave travel allowance seems useless to me as I'm working remotely.

- Which tax regime do you prefer ? New or old ?

I could have done investments to save taxes but nothing is left after all the expenses and nothing on my name 😛
