The Finance Act, 2005 has introduced a new Chapter in the IT Act, called the "Fringe Benefit Tax" (FBT). This tax is imposed on value of perquisites provided by employers to their employees. But with regard to FBT on interest free/concessional loans to employees, the FBT makes it clear that employer will not have any tax liability. For loans above Rs 20,000, the employees will be taxed under Income Tax Act.
