Tejasvi Surya requests FM to include Bengaluru in metro cities under IT rules.

 

Bharatiya Janata Party MP Tejasvi Surya has called on union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to consider including Bengaluru in the list of 'metro cities' and so to benefit salaried employees who can claim full house rent exemption for income tax purposes.

Surya pointed out Bengaluru - the Karnataka state capital and widely viewed as the 'IT capital' of the country - has a high population of salaried employees when compared to other cities.
