06 October 2009 gift above 5K will be taxable in the hands of employees as salary.

If the gift is for FY 2009-10 then there will be FBT implications, the same is for FY 2008-09 then company needs to pay the FBT on it.


06 October 2009 This is taxable in the hands of the employees as perquisite irrespective of forms in which they are offered ( Cash/Travel Package /Gold bar.

Expenses will be allowed in the hands of corporate as business expenditure.Till 2008-09 corporate paid FBT now there is no FBT.
