The salary received under the pay head special allowance is fully taxable. If you are in the higher salary bracket, it means you can split up your salary under the following pay heads to avoid tax:
- Uniform allowance
- Wash allowance
Additionally, you can split your salary under LTA, Car Hire, Petrol & Maintenance, Driver salary, etc., where FBT is applicable on the same.
