• Case (1) Case (2) Case (3)
• [Ref.Sec.17(2)(iv), [Ref.Sec.17(2)(iii)Rule 3(3)]
• Basic Salary 50,400/ 50,400 /50,520
• Wages of sweeper Sec.17(2)(iii) not taxable /7,200/ 4,800
• Wages of watchman Sec.17(2)(iii) not taxable /6,000 /2,400
• Gross salary 50,400/ 63,600/ 57,720
• Salary 50,000/63,200/57,320
111. Case (1)
• Case (1): He is a non-specified employee. Perquisites
provided by employer u/s 17(2)(iii) are not
• chargeable to tax:
• Salary: 4,200 × 12 = 50,400
• Less: Professional tax paid u/s 16(iii) = 400
• Monetary income not exceeding Rs.50,000 = 50,000
• Hence Gross Salary = Rs 50,400
• Income under the head ‘Salary’ = Rs 50,000.
112. Case (2)
• Case (2): If the facility is engaged by the employee
but reimbursed by the employer,
• it is an obligation of employee,
• discharged by employer u/s 17(2)(iv),
• it is always taxable.
• 50,400+7200+6000
• = Rs 63,600
• Less Employment Tax 400
• = Rs 63,200
113. Case (3)
• Case (3): He is a specified employee, as his monetary income,
chargeable under the head “salaries”
• exceeds Rs.50,000.
• Gross salary; 4,210 × 12 = 50,520
• Less: Professional tax paid u/s 16(iii) = 400
• Monetary income exceeding Rs.50,000 Rs.50,120
• 50,520+4800+2400
• =Rs 57,720
• Less Employment Tax 400
• = Rs 57,320

115. Solution: With reference to Rule 3(4)
• 1) Perquisite value of free electricity is Rs.6,750
(2,250 x 3 ).
• As the electric meter is in the name of the employee,
it is his obligation to pay the bill.
• However, as the bill has been paid by the employer,
it is an obligation of employee, discharged by the
employer.
• It is always taxable u/s 17(2)(iv).
116. Case 2
• 2) Perquisite value of free electricity will be
Rs.6,750.

• since the employee is a specified employee as
per Sec.17(2)(iii) – Annual Salary more than Rs
50,000.
