Risk allowance is non-taxable up to a certain limit. The tax emption limit for the Risk Allowance is from Rs. 200/- to Rs. 1300/-. Any amount paid to the employees above Rs. 1300/- per month as risk allowance will be taxable. The others who are getting less than Rs. 1300/- per month as risk allowance will not require paying any tax on the amount.
Veterinary surgeons are those who are engaged in health and medical profession for the animals. As people know the job definitely involves high risk, the risk allowance is also paid at moderate rates. The minimum amount to be paid to the veterinary surgeons is Rs. 180/- per month as risk allowance.
The junior veterinary surgeons get Rs. 180/- per month
The senior veterinary surgeons get Rs. 270/- per month as risk allowance
The chief veterinary surgeons also get Rs. 270/- per month as risk allowances.
