Indian salary income has no work-expense deduction mechanism under either the new or the old regime — you receive a flat standard deduction instead. Self-employed people and professionals CAN deduct apportioned home office and vehicle costs, and can do so under both regimes: the new regime disallows the personal 80-series reliefs, not ordinary business expenditure. India prescribes no per-kilometre or per-square-foot rate.
You can only claim the work-related portion, you must have spent the money yourself without reimbursement, and you need a record to prove it.
