Undoubtedly YES. Assume a case that tomorrow the Traveling Allowance is withdrawn. Can you continue to get DA on it? This means that Traveling Allowance that is being paid to you is the basic TA as per VIth pay recommendation including the D.A on it. Thereby you are entitled to get exemption of T.A with D.A on it, however, limited to Rs.1800 per month.

In my view, the increased transport allowance limit of Rs.1600 is applicable from the Assessment Year 2015-2016. Because, the notification specify the date of applicability as 01-04-2015.
I agree with Mr Jai Kr. Jain
Income‐tax (6th Amendment) Rules, 2015.(2) came into effect on 01.04.2015. In my opinion the enhanced exemption for Transport Allowance is available for the AY 2015-16 onwards.
