However, where in cases the employee is provided such accommodation for a period not exceeding in aggregate fifteen days on transfer from one place to another, no perquisite value for such accommodation provided in a hotel shall be charged.

A higher amount may be deducted on the basis of proper maintenance of details of official use.

Free or concessional education - The old rules already provide that value of free education facility would be the expenditure incurred by the employer.

Any amount paid by the employee for such facilities or services shall be reduced from the above amount. However, where such educational institution itself is maintained and owned by the employer or where such free educational facilities are provided in any institution by reason of his being in employment of that employer, the sub-rule shall not apply if the cost of such education or such benefit per child does not exceed Rs. 1,000 p.m. VI.

Free meals - The provision of free meals varies widely from uniform canteen food, coupons etc. to lavish hotel meals. The scheme of free meals as a staff welfare measure had been recognised and was admissible upto Rs. 35 for each meal. The new rule does not treat as perquisite free meals if the cost per meal does not exceed Rs. 50. Where any amount is recovered from the employer, such amount shall be reduced from the value of perquisite. Such free or subsidised meal should, however, be provided at office premises or through non-transferable vouchers meant for only meals during working hours.

XII. Use of assets - It is common practice for an asset owned by the employer to be used by the assessee. This perquisite is to be charged at the rate of 10% of the original cost of the asset as reduced by any charges paid for such use. However, Computers and laptops are exempt. Further, the value of perquisite for an asset used for income for more than ten years would be taken as Nil . XIII. Transfer of assets - Often an employee or member of his household benefits from the transfer of movable asset (not being shares or securities) at no cost or at a cost less than its market value from the employer.

It may, therefore, be desirable for the employer to obtain a declaration from each employee as to the option he wants to follow for purposes of tax deduction at source. However, it should be noted that the option to the taxpayer of using the old or new rules for the period specified above shall be applied uniformly in respect of all perquisites, in case of a particular taxpayer. In other words, one cannot selectively value a particular perquisite by the old rule and another one by the new rule. It is pertinent to mention that benefits specifically exempt under section 10( 13A ), 10( 5 ), 10( 14 ), 17 etc. would continue to be exempt.
