<h1>Amendment to Section 40: Employee benefits over 20% of salary are taxable, excluding gratuity and travel concessions.</h1> Section 40 of the Income-tax Act has been amended by the Finance Act, 1964. The amendment replaces sub-clause (iii) to stipulate that any expenditure incurred after February 29, 1964, providing benefits or perquisites to employees, exceeding one-fifth of their salary, will be considered taxable. Exceptions include gratuity payments, travel concessions, and certain compensations, which are not included in the expenditure calculation. Additionally, a new Explanation 2 clarifies that 'salary' refers to the definition in clause (h) of rule 2 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule.
