Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether liquor purchased during a business trip can be claimed as a tax-exempt expense in a business trip settlement. An employee expensed liquor worth Rs 5000 as part of an Rs 8000 total bill. Without a specific company policy on travel and entertainment expenses, the consensus is that liquor consumption is generally not allowed for tax deduction.

Liquor consumption will not be allowed for any tax deduction.

Thank you sir.

for your reply to the query.

You are welcome ....
