These expenses may not allowed for income tax purpose .
@ Mr Prasad Nilugal,

Why it's not allowed for income tax expenses...???
is there any specific reason(s)...?
I used word " May be" , because these expenses are not for business purpose, look like. section 37 of the income tax Act , may be applicable.

All entertainment expenses are expenses. Perks are indirect expenses

Entertainment expenses cannot be tax incentivised and they have the highest tax rate

@ Raja PM

 

Company vehicle delivering goods to its customers:

Fuel expenses are direct costs included in closing stock

Repairs and maintenance is indirect cost correct?

If not tax then , one may show many expences in p&L to reduce profit and untimetaly reduse tax .

Yes, You are exactly correct.

May be Some times the delivey vehicle's fuel considering into Indirect Exp.

But, Generally this practice not in force...

I can understand why. Thats because its hard to forecast number of deliveries to include them into inventory and thats why they use revenue recognitions transaction cost method. But NRV valued inventories have fuel expenses included into the selling price

In this way they keep two ledger under Indirect and Direct 

I think nrv valued inventories dont hold fuel as direct expense because all costs necessary to make sale are subtracted from it. We can conclude its an indirect cost!!
