26 April 2010 Dear Sir,

We have provided to our employee, a leased furnished accommodation.

Now the Rule says,15 % of salary or lease rent paid, whichever is lower.. PLUS 10 % per annum of the cost of furniture provided.

I have two questions,

1. What is the meaning of salary for this purpose ?

2. House has been taken on rent (alongwith all the furnitures). No separate valuation for furniture is available. We only need to pay the monthly leased rent for all (House + furniture) @ 50000/- per month. What will be the perquisite valuation in this case ??

Kindly reply urgently.

If the funrniture also taken on hire basis the hire charges( not cost) for the furniture need to add to the valuation of accomodation
