Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of various employee reimbursements provided by a company, such as relocation, gym, and COVID vaccination expenses. It questions whether these reimbursements are taxable for employees and if they qualify as deductible expenses for the company. The consensus leans towards these being tax-free perquisites for employees, while the company can claim them as expenses with applicable tax benefits.

Those reimbursements are not expense to company because tax authorities are giving you incentives. 

Ok I got what your asking, those expenses will be borne by the company, and they get tax benefit where ever applicable. Ignore the above because, I thought about esic as an allowable deduction from salary. 

These are all tax free perquisites.
As per my knowledge all these are like special allowances to that employee. and those will be taxable in the hands of employee.

if it is income to employee means an expense to company. company is very much eligible for deduction.
What is the actual difference between perks vs Profit in lieu of salary vs allowance? and how they are charged to employee
Allowances are taxable subject to some of them .HRA SEC 10 (13A)
PERKS CAN BE TAXABLE OR NON TAXABLE DEPENDING UPON THE THE DESIGNATION OF AN EMPLOYEE.
PROFIT IN LIEU OF SALARY ARE DIFFERENT FROM PERKS AND ALLOWANCES.
Allowance is like amount will be given to employee to expend on some expenses lime HRA, DA, Helper allowance etc...

perk means employer only give amenities to employee. here employer don't any amount.

profit in lieu of salary defined under IT Act. please refer.
What about employee reimbursements then ?
