Dear SS All Mails,
Please understand that as far as Income tax act is concerned any in the name of allowance is taxable as provision of the act. If it is part and parcel of the salary, then whole allowance including salary is taxable.
As per Mr.Manojkamble, if it is reimbursement claiming after payment of Telephone charges by you, is not taxable.
hence, check where you stand
