07 January 2012 As your option both the cases also taxable.

Option.1.When employer providing house on rent, then we need to value the rent free accomodation perks and deduct the rent received from employee ex. Rent free accomodation or concessional rent value Rs.100 and rent paid by employee to company Rs.40 means balance Rs.60 is taxable

Option.2 When company forming colony and transfer under trust and giving rent means then the actual rent free accomodation calculation need to be workout for taxable perks
