Answer 1

From employer side - Applicable in India Only
1. Conveyance Allowance - Maximum of Rs. 800/month
2. Medical Allowance - Under Rs. 15,000/annum
3. Sodexho Meal Vouchers - Under Rs. 3000/month

There could be other allowances also but then the employer has to pay Fringe Benefit Tax on that which varies from 6.73% of the total allowance amount to 50%

From employee side - Personal Investments
1. Public Provident Fund
2. National Saving Certificate
3. Donations to registered institutions
and couple of more things but total should not exceed INR 1 Lac
