The scope of the term profit in lieu of salary has been amended so as not to include interest on contributions or any sum received under a Keyman insurance policy including the sum allocated by way of bonus on such policy. For the purposes of this sub-clause, the expression Keyman insurance policy shall have the meaning assigned to it in clause (10D) 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. Perquisite includes: (a) the value of rent free accommodation provided to the employee by his employer; (b) the value of any concession in the matter of rent in respect of any accommodation provided to the employee by his employer; (c) the value of any benefit or amenity granted or provided free of cost or at concessional rate in any o....

For furnished accommodation, the provision of valuation of perquisite of furnishings, fittings and furniture at 10% of original cost per annum or actual hire charges is continued.

The value of such perquisite shall be the expenditure incurred by the employer.

However, leave travel as per section 10(5) and enjoyment of holiday home facilities available uniformly to all classes of employees would remain exempt. IX. Free meals - The provision of free meals varies widely from uniform canteen food, coupons etc. to lavish hotel meals. The scheme of free meals as a staff welfare measure had been recognized and was admissible upto Rs. 35 for each meal.

Where any amount is recovered from the employee, such amount shall be reduced from the value of perquisite. Such free or subsidized meal should however be provided at office premises or through non-transferable vouchers meant for only meals during working hours.

This perquisite is to be charged at the rate of 10 per cent of the original cost of the asset as reduced by any charges recovered from the employee for such use. However, the user of Computers and Laptops would not give rise to any perquisite. 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 per cent of such original cost for every completed year of use of the asse....
