No, Company is not liable to pay FBT.
The concept behind the FBT is to leavy the tax on benefit given by employer to his employees for which tax was not being paid by the employee or employer
Fixed Conveyance Allowance given to employees is NOT liable for FBT. Refer Para 224.4-8 of 30th ediition of the Singhania's Direct Taxes Ready Reckoner
No, on transportation allowances company is not required to pay FBT.Because it is specifically excluded.
Allowances are not taxable to the extent of Sec 10. However, they doesnot come under the purview of FBT.
no not liable to pay under FBT.
any income which is taxable under employee income is not liable to FBT.If anything has been paid as a perquisite,not taxable under employee income then it is liable to FBT.
in ur case, trasportation allowance is not liable to FBT as it is falling in income of Employee
When some thing is chargeble in the hands of employee, it cannot be brought under Fringe Benefit Tax Though it is exempted in the hands of employee.
Trasportation allowance which is in fixed nature is exempted up to 800/- per month is not taxable as FBT.
However If you pay transportation to your employee for performing journey to outside on official duty, it is taxable as FBT.

Transport allowance of Rs. 800 pm is exempt from Tax. In case the employee owns the motor car and the same is being used for both private and official purpose then can claim Rs. 1200 pm+ 600 pm (driver salary) (for engine capacity less than 1.6 litre and Rs. 1,600pm + 600 pm for engine capacity more than 1.6 litre).
