Quick Summary
Employers can generally offer an employee a cash loan equivalent to one month's salary. While there's no strict income tax limit on the loan amount itself, giving more than Rs. 20,000 in cash breaches Section 269SS of the Income Tax Act, incurring a 100% penalty. For larger sums, consider official channels like Kotak Mahindra Bank's employee loan solutions to ensure compliance and transparency.

As per industry norms, it is generally one month salary.

What about if we want to give more than one month salary.Is it disallowed under income tax or we can give upto Rs.2,00,000.
How does income tax act comes into the picture.?
Rs.2 lacs is disallowed under Income tax act...

under which section.

Loan to employees is not an expenditure.so it can't be claimed as expenses and no disallowance it comes to picture because you are not able to claim it.loan may gave at any amount to employees but loan by hard cash is possible only upto 20000.more than that it will breach of section 269ss and 100% penalty applicable for that loan.

You might want to explore options through Kotak Mahindra Bank, which provides various employee loan solutions.
