This is not to debate just sharing.
Your intention to use this component in salary structure to save tax in employee’s hand, on other hand you are saying that reimbursement is only for official job.
How can you include this in salary structure and have employees accepted this scheme, they are not deriving any benefit and just getting reimbursement of official expenses incurred.
Please note tax treatment is different if car is used for Both official and private purpose

Thanks Sir, my actual plan is to covered it under CTC as reimbursement to higher slab employees.
If they produce bills every month for Petrol and voucher for payment of driver salary and we make payment against these bills/voucher.
then it will be covered under perquisite or not

In your case Car is owned by employees and is used both for official and private purpose.
Yes it is taxable as perquisites and the perquisite value would be as under
1)If employee has small car: Amount reimbursed minus Rs.1800 per month minus Rs. 900 for Driver. Suppose employee has been reimbursed 5000 per month including driver salary, taxable value would be 5000-1800-900=2300 per month.
2)If employee owns big Car (cubic capacity >1600cc): Amount reimbursed minus Rs.2400 minus 900 for driver. i.e. 5000-2400-900=1700. Per month.
Tax treatment is different and more beneficial for employee if car is owned by the Employer.

No question of taxability in employee’s hand at all, as the car is used exclusively for Office work.
Please note car should be used only for official work and not for private purpose of employees otherwise taxability would arise.
