What are the rules for deducting business travel expenses on my tax return?

As a small business owner in India, you can claim a tax deduction for businessrelated travel expenses incurred during the financial year. The rules for deducting business travel expenses on your tax return are as follows:

1. The travel expenses must be directly related to your business operations.
2. The expenses must be reasonable and necessary.
3. The expenses must be adequately documented with receipts and other relevant documentation.
