..... D) of section 10. It may be noted that, since salary includes pensions, tax at source would have to be deducted from pension also, if otherwise called for. However, no tax is required to be deducted from the commuted portion of pension as explained in clause (3) of para 5.2 of this Circular. (4) Section 17 defines the terms salary, perquisite and profits in lieu of salary.

Perquisites are charged to tax under the existing provisions for employees who are directors of companies or have substantial interest in a company, or have an income from salaries, excluding the value of all benefits or amenities, exceeding Rs. 24,000. The Finance Act, 2001 amends the provision to raise the monetary limit to Rs. 50,000. The definition of perquisite has also been amended to include the value of any other fringe benefit or amenity as may be prescribed. The details of fringe benefits are to be calculated in the manner prescribed in the Income-tax Rules.

However, where in cases the employee is provided such accommodation for a period not exceeding in aggregate fifteen days on transfer from one place to another, no perquisite value for such accommodation provided in a hotel shall be charged. It may be clarified that while services provided as an integral part of the accommodation, need not be valued separately as perquisite any other services over and above that for which the employer makes payment or reimburses the employee shall be valued as a perquisite as per the residual clause. In other words, composite tariff for accommodation will be valued as per these Rules and any other changes for other facilities provided by the hotel will be separately valued under the residual clause.

Free or concessional journeys - Under the old rules where an employee avails of free or concessional journeys in conveyance owned by the undertaking for the purpose of transport of passengers or goods, the value of perquisite was taken as Nil.

..... re and purpose of entertainment and persons entertained. XII. Use of assets - It is common practice for an asset owned by the employer to be used by the assessee. This perquisite is to be charged at the rate of 10% of the original cost of the asset as reduced by any charges paid for such use. However, Computers and laptops are exempt. Further, the value of perquisite for an asset used for income for more than ten years would be taken as Nil. XIII. Transfer of assets - Often an employee or member of his household benefits from the transfer of movable asset (not being shares or securities) at no cost or at a cost less than its market value from the employer. The difference between the original cost of the movable asset (not being shares or securities) and the sum, if any, paid by the employee, shall be taken as the value of perquisite. In case of a movable asset, which has already been put to use, the original cost shall be reduced by a sum of 10% of such original cost for every completed year of use of the asset. Owing to a higher degree of obsolescence, in case of computers and electronic gadgets, however, the value of perquisite shall be worked out by reducing 50% of the a .....

However, it should be noted that the option to the taxpayer of using the old or new rules for the period specified above shall be applied uniformly in respect of all perquisites, in case of a particular taxpayer. In other words, one cannot selectively value a particular perquisite by the old rule and another one by the new rule. It is pertinent to mention that benefits specifically exempt under sections 10(13A), 10(5), 10(14), 17 etc. would continue to be exempt. These include benefits like travel on tour and transfer, leave travel, daily allowance to meet tour expenses as prescribed, medical facilities subject to conditions. However, administrative circulars and instructions relating to perquisites falling under the purview of Rule 3 issued before the adoption of the new rules, shall stand superseded or modified, as the case may be.

(5) Under section 10(10B), the retrenchment compensation received by a workman is exempt from income-tax subject to certain limits.

For this purpose, Salary includes dearness allowance, if the terms of employment so provide, but excludes all other allowances and perquisites. It has to be noted that only the expenditure actually incurred on payment of rent in respect of residential accommodation occupied by the assessee subject to the limits laid down in Rule 2A, qualifies for exemption from income-tax. Thus, house rent allowance granted to an employee who is residing in a house/flat owned by him is not exempt from income-tax. The disbursing authorities should satisfy themselves in this regard by insisting on production of evidence of actual payment of rent before excluding the house rent allowance or any portion thereof from the total income of the employee. Though incurring actual expenditure on payment of rent is a pre-requisite for claiming deduction under section 10(13A), it has been decided as an administrative measure that salaried employees drawing house rent allowance upto Rs. 3,000 per month will be exempted from producti .....
