12 February 2022 One of my clients gets Rs. 123000/- as medical reimbursement i.e. one month of his basic pay in a year. Is it fully taxable under the head of perquisites? If it is not taxable - under what head it is not taxable. Kindly let me know your opinion. He is a salaried employee. Regards, TARAK KUMAR ROY, 150/1/1, Banerjee Para Road, P.O.

13 February 2022 As such it is taxable now. But ITD has provided an income tax exemption on the amount received from the employer towards the COVID-19 treatment. The treatment expenses from FY 2019-20 and onwards are allowed for such tax relief.
