Hi, I would like to know, apart from my TDS deduction from my basic salary, the allowance paid to me on any business tour abroad or domestic will also be applicable for TDS deduction?

Tax Exemption on Special Allowances
There is a provision in the Income Tax Act that states any special allowance provided specifically to cover additional expenses incurred by the employee due to their job or place of work will be exempt.
However, an allowance given for a foreign trip, as distinct from reimbursement of expenses, may not be covered under this clause. You need to speak to the accounts department of your company and consult your Chartered Accountant (CA) if necessary to get clarification. The exemption or taxability would depend on various factors and the method of computation of the allowance.
