29 January 2010 Dear experts,

One of our employee is geeting free Education for his two children who are studing in employer's school.fees of normal student is 72000/- so the the perq. value is 72000-24000(exempt)=48000/-now the question is the employee can claim tution fees deduction U/s 80C on 48000/- which is now taxable in the hand of employee.

the next question is the employer will give the certificate of tution fees

Thanks in advance

30 January 2010 Dear Experts,

My point is that the employee is paying tax on Rs.48000/- utilised in paying tution fees of his children, which is normal fees in employer school.the tution fees is normal rate for every student. if the amount of perq. is add in the income of employee why the expenditure (student fees) is not consider paid by him?

pls. give your facts
