01 June 2012 Sir,
Per my view if car is provided along with driver then company can claim expenditure of drivers salary.
IF not then drivers salary will be termed as perquisite to employee.under section 17(2)(iv) or 17(2)(iii)-
Should you desire any clerification feel free to ask.

01 June 2012 Sir,
The ownership of car is of company. The company charged all running expenses like fuel etc. in his profit & loss a/c. Here in circumstances, Driver is not appointed by company but driver is hired/employed by employee himself. company only reimburse his salary to his employee. Can company claim the expenditure of such driver salary in his profit & loss & under which head it claim such expense.
