09 June 2011 Dear Sir,

In case of car perquisite valuation, if the car is owned by employee and used wholly for official purpose, there is no perquisite.

Now, if I incur say Rs. 50000/- during the month on petrol & maintenance and company pays me Rs. 36000/- as petrol and maintenance reimbursement and my usage of car for company purpose (in terms of value in kms calculated at average rate) is Rs. 40000/-, can I say that I have used company car fully for official purpose since, my expenses on car used for company purpose has exceeeded my allowance received from company.

Kindly advise at the earliest

*
According to prevailing practices in our country, we should try to use company's car for personal use and establish the same as if used for the company.
*
For proving that the car has been used for official purpose according to the rules
the conditions required to be fulfilled are-
For the Employer :
--------------------
complete details to be maintained about journey undertaken- by including 4Ds-
Date, Destination, Distance and Dam i.e
expenditure incurred.
For the Employee:
------------------
A certificate from company to the effect that expenditure was incurred wholly and exclusively for the performance of official duties.

SO, in spite of Average Expenditure /Km
basis, you should stick to the practice of actual expenditure incurred.
