Yes fringe benefit tax will be payable by the firm even if it is being assessed on presumptive basis under section 44 AF . There is no provision in chapter XII-H to exclude such employer from fringe benefit tax purview who is going to be assessed on presumptive basis. It is true that it will cause genuine hardship to the assessee because it would be very difficult to calculate fringe benefit tax in the absence of books . But, for the purpose of computation of fringe benefit need to maintain records. Further, as per clause (a) of Section 115 W employer means (ii) Firm.

anyone differ with my view pl........
