n those perquisites which were taxable to employees if fringe benefit tax has not being paid by employer would not be applicable for may 2010 inter students . example car benefit to employee would now be chargeable to employee as perquisites due to abolition of FBT would not be applicable for students appearing for may 2010 attempt |

No you are confusing students. As you write that perquisites are of three types
1)perquisites taxable in the hands of all employee
2)perquisites taxable in the hands of all specified employees only
3) perquisites taxable in the hands of employee if not charged/paid as fringe benefit tax
The 3rd type of perquisite mentioned above were exempt in the hands of employees if employer pays FBT (Fringe Benefit Tax). As FBT Abolished w.e.f. A.Y. 2010-11 all the perquisite are taxable in the hands of employees. It is applicable for all students appearing in the May 2010 Exam. Calculation of perquisite will be made according to present rules which are applicable for those employee whose employer is not paying FBT.
Question : What is not applicable for May 2010 Exam ?
Answer : "Consequent to abolition of fringe benefit tax, certain benefits taxed earlier as fringe benefits in the hands of the employer would now be taxable as perquisites in the hands of the employees. For this purpose, new perquisite valuation rules have been notified vide Notification No.94/2009/ F.No.142/25/2009-S.O.(TPL), dated 18.12.2009 with retrospective effect from 1.4.2009. However, the new perquisite valuation rules would be applicable only for November 2010 examination. They would not be applicable for May 2010 examination, since only notifications/circulars issued up to 31st October, 2009 are relevant for May 2010 examination."
Due to abolition of fringe benefit tax, there were some changes made in the rules for valuation of perquisite. But these new rules were notified on 18.12.2009 and notifications issued upto 31.10.09 are relevant for may 2010 exam. So these new rules for valuation of perquisite are not applicable for may 2010 exam.
