SUMMATION
E.g. An employee gets gardener allowance of Rs.1200
p.m. by certifying to the employer about the expenses ; but
on survey, he is unable to prove any disbursement to any
person (gardener). The total amount received by him will
become taxable and he will be subjected to penalty by the
ITO.
The employee should not only certify
the expenditure on different heads, but
he must also ensure that he spends the
money for the purpose for which he
has claimed.
