Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of employers providing customised Diwali sweet boxes to employees in India. Gifts from employers are tax-exempt up to Rs. 5,000 per financial year. If the value of the sweet box exceeds this limit, the entire amount is considered taxable as a 'Gift under Perquisite Tax' for the employee, irrespective of whether the gift is customised.

Gifts from employers to employees (including customized gifts) are exempt up to Rs. 5,000 per financial year. If the sum exceeds this limit, the whole amount is taxable as a "Gift under Perquisite Tax" as per Indian Income Tax law., regardless of customization.

Thank you Sir for the response.
