How to Learn

If used exclusively for official purpose then no perquisite in any case.
If used exclusively for personal purpose then perquisite will be valued at actual expenditure by employer + 10% p.a. for motor cars normal wear & tear.
If used for both purposes then-

a. If only car (No R&M) is given by the employer then Rs. 600 or 900.

b. If R&M is incurred by the employer then 1800 or 2400 is deemed to be used for non owner and remaining expenses is deemed for the owner of the car & perquisite shall be valued accordingly.
