Hence,their Income will be reduced by 40000 while calculating tax

However Employees will not get Benefit of 

Medical Reimbursement of 15000 per annum

Transport Allowance of 1600 per month(19200 annual)

which they enjoyed earlier

Earlier 

Salaried Employees enjoyed

Medical Reimbursement of 15000 per annum

Transport Allowance of 1600 per month(19200 annual)

Total Savings=15000+19200=34200

 

Now

No benefit of Medical Reimbursement and Transport Allowances

Instead Standard Deduction available of 40000

This 40000 will be reduced while calculating Income from Salaries
