Tell me what are the deductions under Salary Head?

Submitted by: Muhammad
Deductions that are made under salary head are Entertainment allowance and Professional tax.

Entertainment Allowance- Entertainment allowance received is already included in the income of the employee and then a deduction is made only for government employees. A sum equal to 1/5th of salary (excluding all allowances, benefits and other perquisites) or Rs. 5,000, whichever is less is being deducted.

Professional Tax- Professional Tax is imposed by the government on employment by whatever name called, under Article 80C 276 of the Constitution and shall be allowed as a deduction. [Sec. 16(iii)]
