Answer 4(c):
[First Alternative]
As per section 139(3), an assessee is required to file a return of loss within the due date specified u/s 139(1)
for filing return of income.
As per section 80, certain losses which have not been determined in pursuance of a return filed under section
139(3) on or before the due date specified under section 139(1) cannot be carried forward and set-off. Thus,
the assessee has to file a return of loss under section 139(3) within the time allowed u/s 139(1) in order to
carry forward and set off of following losses:
- loss under the head “Capital Gains”,

- loss from activity of owning and maintaining race horses.
- business loss,
- speculation business loss and
- loss from specified business.
However, following can be carried forward for set-off even if the return of loss has not been filed before the
due date:
- Loss under the head “Income from house property” and

- Unabsorbed depreciation.
[Second Alternative]
(i) A HUF whose total income without giving effect to, inter alia, section 54EC, exceeds the basic
exemption limit of ₹ 2,50,000, is required to file a return of its income on or before the due date under
section 139(1). In this case, since the total income without giving effect to exemption under section 54EC is
₹ 12 lakhs, exceeds the basic exemption limit, the HUF is required to file its return of income for A.Y. 2022-
23 on or before the due date under section 139(1).
(ii) Every person, being a resident other than not ordinarily resident in India would be required to file a
return of income or loss for the previous year on or before the due date, even if his or her total income does
not exceed the basic exemption limit, if such person, at any time during the previous year, inter alia, holds
any asset located outside India.
In this case, though Mrs. Archana owns a car in Germany, the same does not fall within the ambit of “capital
asset” as it is a personal effect. Hence, Mrs. Archana is not required to file her return of income for A.Y.
2022-23 on account of owning a car for personal purposes in Germany.
Note – “Asset” for the purpose of the fourth proviso to section 139(1) has not been specifically defined in
the said section or elsewhere in the Act. Schedule FA of the income-tax return forms, however, requires
details of foreign assets for the purpose of filing of return of income under this provision. The foreign assets
listed in the said Schedule does not include car. It, however, includes “any other capital assets outside
India”. Car used for personal purposes is not a capital asset as it is a “personal effect”. Hence, it is not
included in the meaning of “asset” for the purpose of the fourth proviso to section 139(1). The above answer
is based on the view taken regarding the ambit of the term “asset”, based on the list of assets detailed in the
relevant schedule of the income-tax return forms.
Alternative view - On the plain reading of the fourth proviso to section 139(1) and the general meaning
attributable to the word “asset”, it is possible to take a view that Mrs. Archana is required to file her return
of income as she owns an asset, i.e., a car in Germany. Accordingly, due credit may also be given to the
candidates who have answered on this basis.
(iii) If an individual has incurred expenditure exceeding ₹ 1 lakh towards consumption of electricity during
the previous year, he would be required to file a return of income, even if his total income does not exceed
the basic exemption limit. Since Mr. Sudhakar has incurred expenditure of ₹ 1,20,000 in the P.Y.2021-22
towards consumption of electricity, he has to file his return of income for A.Y. 2022-23 on or before the due
date under section 139(1).

Answer 3(b)
An individual is required to furnish a return of income under section 139(1) if his total income, before
giving effect to the deductions under Chapter VI-A or exemption under section 54/54B/54D/54EC or 54F,
exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax i.e., ₹ 2,50,000.

Since the total income of Mr. Hari for A.Y.2022-23, before giving effect, inter alia, to the deductions under
Chapter VI-A, is less than the basic exemption limit of ₹ 2,50,000, he is not required to file return of income
for A.Y.2022-23.
However, if he has incurred expenditure exceeding ₹ 2 lakhs for himself or any other person for travel to a
foreign country, he would be required to file a return of income,
even if his total income does not exceed the basic exemption limit. Since he has incurred expenditure of ₹ 4
lakhs on foreign travel of his newly married son and daughter in law in the F.Y. 2021-22, he has to
mandatorily file his return of income for A.Y. 2022-23 on or before the due date under section 139(1).

quoted on the stock exchange only for the purpose of the said clause (ac) i.e., to arrive at the FMV as on
31.1.2018 for computing cost of acquisition of shares.
However, the question states two prices on 31.1.2020, being the date of conversion of capital asset into stock
in trade for which we have to consider the definition of “fair market value” as per section 2(22B). As per
this definition, FMV refers to the price that the capital asset would ordinarily fetch on sale in the open
market on the relevant date. In the question, two prices are given on the relevant date i.e., the date of
conversion of capital asset into stock in trade, namely, the highest price and the closing price. The above
solution is given considering the closing price as the FMV as on 31.1.2020.
Alternatively, highest price can also be considered as the FMV as on 31.1.2020. In such case, the total
income of Mr. Govind would be computed in the following manner:

Solution 4(b):
As per section 50C, If Full Value of consideration claimed by an Assessee is less than the Stamp Duty
Value, in such cases FVC shall be taken to be Stamp duty value.
If the date of agreement and date of registration are different in that case value on the agreement shall be
taken into consideration provided some advance was given otherwise than in cash on or before the
agreement.
In the given case 20% amount was paid on the date of agreement through account payee bank draft hence
value as on the date of agreement shall be considered.
Since Full Value of consideration is less than the Stamp duty Value on the date of agreement hence Stamp
Duty Value shall be considered as full value of consideration i.e. ₹90,00,000.

Note: As per the decision of Gauhati High Court in CIT vs Rajesh Kumar Jalan (2006) and Punjab &
Haryana High Court in CIT vs Jagriti Aggarwal (2011), exemption under section 54 is allowable even if the
amount of capital gain is deposited in Capital Gains Accounts Scheme after the due date specified under
section 139(1) but before the period specified for filing a belated return under section 139(4).
If we apply the above interpretation in this case, Mr. X would be eligible for exemption under section 54 in
respect of ₹ 3,00,000 deposited in Capital Gains Accounts Scheme on 01.11.2022 also, since the said date
falls within the time specified under section 139(4). On the basis of this interpretation, the long term capital
gain chargeable to tax in the hands of Mr. X would be ₹ 32,34,980 and the consequent tax liability would
also be ₹ 6,20,880.

Solution 4(a): As per section 50C, FVC shall be taken to be ₹22,00,000 for land and ₹13,00,000 for the
building and capital gains shall be computed separately for land and building.
In the given problem, land has been held for a period exceeding 24 months and building for a period less
than 24 months. Therefore, land is a long-term capital asset, whereas building is a short-term capital asset.

Answer 6:
As per section 47, reverse mortgage shall not be considered to be transfer for the purpose of capital gain.
Under reverse mortgage, a senior citizen can mortgage his house property to the bank and the bank shall
grant a loan against the security of house property and such loan shall be given in monthly installments and
the amount so received shall not be considered to be income of the mortgagor under section 10(43).
After the death of the mortgagor the bank shall have right to sell off the property and shall adjust loan and
interest and shall compute capital gains for the deceased person and shall pay tax to the government.
The purpose of the scheme is to make available regular amount to the persons who do not have regular
income but are the owners of the house property.
In general, the mortgagors repay the loan in installments but in this case mortgagee i.e. bank is paying
installment to the mortgagor and hence it is called reverse mortgage.

Answer 7.
As per section 47, any transfer of a capital asset in a transaction of Reverse Mortgage under a scheme made
and notified by the Central Government will not be regarded as a transfer. Therefore, capital gains tax
liability is not attracted.
Section 10(43) provides that the amount received by an individual as a loan, either in lump sum or in
installments, in a transaction of Reverse Mortgage would be exempt from income-tax. Therefore, the
amount received by Mr. X in a transaction of Reverse Mortgage of his residential building is exempt under
section 10(43).

Answer 2.
As per section 50C, FVC shall be taken to be ₹22,00,000 for land and ₹10,00,000 for the building and
capital gains shall be computed separately for land and building.
In the given problem, land has been held for a period exceeding 24 months and building for a period less
than 24 months. Therefore, land is a long-term capital asset, whereas building is a short-term capital asset.

As per section 70, short-term capital loss can be set-off against long-term capital gains. Therefore, the net

Answer 4. As per section 47, any transfer of a capital asset in a transaction of reverse mortgage under a
scheme made and notified by the Central Government shall not be considered as a transfer for the purpose of
capital gain.
Accordingly, the transaction made by Mr. X's father will not be regarded as a transfer. Therefore, no capital
gain will be charged on such transaction.
Further, section 10(43) provides that the amount received as a loan, either in lump sum or in installment, in a
transaction of reverse mortgage would be exempt from income-tax.
However, capital gains tax liability would be attracted at the stage of alienation of the mortgaged property
by the bank for the purposes of recovering the loan.

Answer 1. The statement is false.
The exemption under section 54EC has been restricted, by limiting the maximum investment in long term
specified assets (i.e. bonds of NHAI or RECL, redeemable after 5 years) to ₹50 lakh during any financial
year. Therefore, in this case, the exemption under section 54EC can be availed only to the extent of ₹50

Solution 38:
1. As per section 28, Any gift received in connection with business/profession shall be considered to be
income under the head business/ profession hence ₹ 2,50,000 being value of the motor car shall be
considered to be income under the head business/profession. Since car is being used for the purpose of
business, depreciation shall be allowed as per section 32.
2. As per section 32, depreciation shall be allowed even for intangible assets, hence ₹ 6 lakh qualifies for
depreciation @ 25%.
3. As per section 40(a), while calculating income of the employer, the tax paid by the employer on non-
monetary perquisites to employees is not deductible.
4. As per section 28, any sum received for not carrying out any activity in relation to any business is
chargeable to tax as business income. Thus, ₹ 10 lakh is taxable as business income being non-
compete fee.
5. Section 35DDA provides that where an assessee incurs any expenditure in any previous year by way of
payment of any sum to an employee at the time of his voluntary retirement under any scheme of
voluntary retirement, one fifth of the amount so paid shall be deducted in computing the profits and
gains of the business for that previous year, and the balance shall be deducted in equal instalments for
each of the four immediately succeeding previous years. In view of the aforesaid provisions, ₹ 4 lakh
shall be allowable as deduction in the assessment year 2021-22.
6. As per section 43(1), all expenses upto the date of putting the asset to use shall be capitalized i.e. it will
be added to the actual cost but in the given case asset has not been put to use till the end of the year
hence neither the amount can be debited to profit and loss account nor depreciation is allowed.
7. As per section 37(1), in order to claim deduction the expenditure should not have been incurred for any
purpose, which is an offence or is prohibited by any law. Since the payment of ₹40,000 to Don is
unlawful, it is not allowable as deduction.
8. As per section 14A, no deduction shall be made in respect of expenditure incurred by the assessee in
relation to income which does not form part of the total income. ₹34,000 is, therefore, not allowable as
deduction.
Solution 39:
(i) An amount equal to commodity transaction tax paid by the assessee shall be allowable as deduction,
under section 36(1)(xvi), if the income arising from taxable commodities transactions is included in the
income computed under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession”. In the given case, Mr. M, is
entitled to claim deduction in respect of commodity transaction tax of ₹ 75000 paid by him.
(ii) As per section 35AD, assessee shall be allowed to debit 100% of the expenditure incurred in connection
with warehousing facility for agricultural produce hence assessee shall be allowed to debit 50 lakhs x 100%
= 50 lakh.
(iii) ABC (P) Ltd. is entitled to a weighted deduction of a sum equal to 150% of the expenditure incurred by
it on notified skill development project, under section 35CCD. Therefore, it can claim ₹ 3,75,000 (i.e., 150%
of ₹ 2,50,000) as deduction under section 35CCD for the P.Y.2021-22.

Particulars ₹ ₹ ₹
I Income from business or profession
Excess of income over expenditure 39,43,000
Add: Items debited but not allowable while computing
business income
- Family planning expenditure incurred for employees 20,000
[not allowable as deduction since expenditure on
family planning for employees is allowed only to a
company assesse/not allowed in case of individuals.
Since the amount is debited to Income and Expenditure
Account, the same has to be added back for computing
business income]
- Salary payment to sister-in-law in excess of market rate Nil
[Any expenditure incurred for which payment is made
to a relative, to the extent it is considered unreasonable
is disallowed. However, sister-in-law is not included in
the definition of “relative” for the purpose of section
40A(2).
Therefore, no adjustment is required for excess salary
paid to Mr. Ashish’s sister-in- law]
- Employees’ Contribution to EPF [Sum received by the 10,000
assessee from his employees as contribution to EPF is
income of the employer. Deduction in respect of such
sum is allowed only if such amount is credited to the
employee’s account on or before due date under the
relevant Act. Since, the employees contribution to EPF
for February 2021 is deposited after the due date under
the relevant Act, deduction would not be available]
- Medical expenses for the treatment of father [Not 80,000
allowed as deduction since it is a personal
expenditure/not an expenditure incurred for the
purpose of business of Mr. Ashish. Since the amount
is debited to Income and Expenditure Account, the
same has to be added back for computing business
income]
- Commission to Ms. Anjaleen without deduction of tax 7,500
at source – [Mr. Ashish would be liable to deduct tax
at source on commission since his gross receipts
from profession exceeded ₹ 50 lakhs during
F.Y.2019-20. Since commission has been paid
without deduction of tax at source, hence 30% of ₹
25,000, being commission paid without deducting
tax at source, would be disallowed under section

40(a)(ia) while computing the business income of
A.Y.2021-22]
- Depreciation as per books of account 90,000

- Purchase of Furniture [not allowable, since it is a 48,000

- On Professional Books [₹ 90,000 x 40%] 36,000

- On Furniture [₹19,000 x 10%, since it has been put to 1,900

expenditure for acquisition of any asset in respect of
which payment or aggregate of payment made to a
person, otherwise than by an a/c payee cheque/ bank
draft or use of ECS or through prescribed electronic
mode, exceeds ₹ 10,000 in a day, such expenditure
would not form part of actual cost of such asset.
Hence, ₹ 18,000 and ₹ 11,000 paid on 31.8.2020 in
cash would not be included in the actual cost of
furniture]
- On Car [₹ 3,35,000 x 15%] [Actual cost of car would 50,250
be the purchase price of the car to Mr. Ashish, i.e., 1,02,150
₹3,35,000]

1. Assuming the capital expenditure of ₹ 80 lakhs is incurred entirely on building
2. In the third para of the question, there is a difference between the figure of capital expenditure incurred in
respect of warehouse i.e., ₹ 93 lakhs (including cost of land ₹ 13 lakhs) and the figure of capital expenditure
capitalised in the books on 1.4.2020 i.e., ₹ 63 lakhs. It appears to be a typographical error, due to which the
main solution has been worked out considering ₹ 93 lakhs as the amount capitalised in the books on
1.4.2020.
However, alternative answers have been worked out below considering ₹ 63 lakhs (being the figure as
printed in the question paper) as the amount capitalised in the books on 1.4.2020. In Alternative 1, it has
been assumed that the amount of ₹63 lakhs capitalised on 1.4.2020 does not include cost of land. In
Alternative 2, it has been assumed that the amount of ₹ 63 lakhs capitalised on 1.4.2020 includes cost of
land.

SOLUTIONS OF EXAMINATION QUESTIONS

Answer 2(a):
An Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin who, being outside India, comes on a visit to India (and whose
total income, other than from foreign sources, does not exceed ₹ 15,00,000) would be resident in India only
if he or she stays in India for a period of 182 days or more during the previous year.
Since Mrs. Rohini is a person of Indian origin who comes on a visit to India only for 60 days in the
P.Y.2021-22 and her income other than from foreign sources does not exceed ₹ 15,00,000, she is non-
resident for the A.Y. 2022-23.
A non-resident is chargeable to tax in respect of income received or deemed to be received in India and
income which accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise to her in India. Accordingly, her total income
and tax liability would be determined in the following manner:
Computation of total income and tax liability of Mrs. Rohini for A.Y. 2022-23
Particulars Amt (₹)
Salaries
Pension received from Russian Government [Not taxable, since it neither accrues or arises Nil
in India nor is it received in India]
Income from House Property
Annual Value [Rental Income from house property in New Delhi is taxable, 90,000
since it is deemed to accrue or arise in India, as it accrues or arises from a
property situated in India]
Less: Deduction u/s 24(a) @ 30% (27,000) 63,000
Capital Gains
Long-term capital gains on sale of land at New Delhi [Taxable, since it is deemed to accrue 3,00,000
or arise in India as it is arising from transfer of land situated in India]
Short-term capital gains on sale of shares of Indian listed companies in respect of which 60,000
STT was paid [Taxable, since it is deemed to accrue or arise in India, as such income arises
on transfer of shares of Indian listed companies]
Deduction under section 80C (63,000)
- Life insurance premium of ₹ 75,000 [Premium paid to Russian Life Insurance
Corporation allowable as deduction. However, the same has to be restricted to gross total
income excluding LTCG and STCG, as Chapter VI-A deductions are not allowable
against such income chargeable to tax u/s 112 and 111A,
respectively]
Long-term capital gains taxable @20% u/s 112 [3,00,000 x 20%] 60,000
Short-term capital gains taxable @15% u/s 111A [60,000 x 15%] 9,000
69,000
Add: Health and Education Cess @4% 2,760
Note –
(i) Even if her total income exceeds ₹ 15 lakh, still, she would be non-resident since the minimum
period of stay required in the current year for being a resident is 120 days.
(ii) The benefit of adjustment of unexhausted basic exemption limit against long-term capital gains
taxable u/s 112 and short-term capital gains taxable u/s 111A is not available in case of non-resident.
Further, rebate u/s 87A is not allowable to a non-resident, even if his income does not exceed ₹ 5
lakh.
(iii)It is assumed that such premium is paid for self or spouse or any child of Mrs. Rohini.

Solution 3(a):
(a) In case of an Indian citizens leaving India for employment during the relevant previous year, the period
of their stay during that previous year for being treated as a resident of India must be 182 days or more.
During the previous year 2021-22, Mr. Rajesh, an Indian citizen, was in India for 181 days only (i.e.,
30+31+30+31+31+28 days). Thereafter, he left India for employment purposes.
Since he does not satisfy the minimum criteria of 182 days, he is a non-resident for the A.Y. 2022-23.
A non-resident is chargeable to tax in respect of income received or deemed to be received in India and
income which accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise to him in India. Hence, salary for January to
March 2022, which was credited in his Dubai bank account for services rendered in Dubai, would not be
taxable in the hands of Mr. Rajesh.
Computation of taxable income of Mr. Rajesh for A.Y. 2022-23
Particulars Amount (₹)

LIC premium for self and spouse [LIC premium for mother is not allowed for
deduction]
- Deduction under section 80TTA (7,500)
[Interest on savings account with Mumbai bank]
Working Notes –
1. Cost of his air tickets to Dubai costing ₹ 1,50,000 funded by his sister is not taxable under section
56(2)(x) in the hands of Mr. Rajesh, since “sister” is a relative.
2. Cost of initial stay at Dubai costing ₹ 40,000 funded by his friend is also not taxable under section
56(2)(x), since the amount does not exceed ₹50,000.

Less: Deduction of professional tax u/s 16(iii) (6,000.00)
Note:
Mr. Janakaraj can avail exemption on the entire amount of 45,000 reimbursed by the employer towards
leave travel concession since the leave travel concession was availed for himself, wife and three children and
the journey was undertaken by economy class airfare. The restriction imposed for two children is not
applicable in case of multiple birth which take place after the first child.
Answer 5(b): Partly taxable

Any allowance granted to an employee working in a transport system to meet his personal expenditure
during his duty is exempt provided he is not in receipt of any daily allowance. The exemption is 70% of
such allowance (i.e., `8,400 per month being, 70% of `12,000) or `10,000 per month, whichever is less.
Hence, 1,00,800 (i.e., `8,400 x 12) is exempt. Balance `43,200 (`1,44,000 – `1,00,800) is taxable in the
hands of Mr. Ram.

Answer 3.
Taxability of perquisites provided by ABC Co. Ltd. to Mr. X
(i) Domestic servant was employed by the employee and the salary of such domestic servant was
paid/reimbursed by the employer. It is taxable as perquisite for all categories of employees.
Taxable perquisite value = `1,500 × 12 = ` 18,000.
If the company had employed the domestic servant and the facility of such servant is given to the employee,
then the perquisite is taxable only in the case of specified employees. The value of the taxable perquisite in
such a case also would be `18,000.
(ii) Where the educational institution is owned by the employer, the value of perquisite in respect of free
education facility shall be determined with reference to the reasonable cost of such education in a similar
institution in or near the locality.
However, there would be no perquisite if the cost of such education per child does not exceed `1,000 per
month.
Therefore, there would be no perquisite in respect of cost of free education provided to his child Mr. S, since
the cost does not exceed `1,000 per month.
However, the cost of free education provided to his child Mr. A would be taxable, since the cost exceeds
`1,000 per month.
Only the sum in excess of ` 1,000 per month is taxable. The value of perquisite would be `2,400.
(iii) Where the employer has provided movable assets to the employee or any member of his household,
10% per annum of the actual cost of such asset owned or the amount of hire charges incurred by the
employer shall be the value of perquisite. However, this will not apply to laptops and computers. In this
case, the movable assets are television, refrigerator and air conditioner and actual cost of such assets is
`1,10,000.
The perquisite value would be 10% of the actual cost i.e., `11,000, being 10% of `1,10,000.
(iv) Only the sum in excess of ` 5,000 is taxable in view of the language of Circular No.15/2001 dated
12.12.2001 that such gifts upto ` 5,000 in the aggregate per annum would be exempt, beyond which it would
be taxed as a perquisite.
Total value of taxable perquisite = ` 36,400 [i.e. `18,000 + 2,400 + 11,000 + 5,000].
NOV – 2010
Answer 5. Computation of taxable salary of Mr. X for A.Y. 2022-23
Particulars `
Basic pay [(20,000×9) + (21,000×3)] = 1,80,000 + 63,000 2,43,000
Dearness allowance [10% of basic pay] 24,300
Bonus [See Note (1) below] 21,000
Employer’s contribution to RPF in excess of 12%
(15%-12% =3% of `2,67,300) 8,019
Taxable allowances
Telephone allowance 6,000
Taxable perquisites
Rent-free accommodation [See Note (2) below] 44,145
Reimbursement of salary of housekeeper 12,000
Gift voucher (10,000 – 5,000) 5,000
Salary income chargeable to tax 3,63,464
Less: Standard deduction u/s 16 (ia) (50,000)
Notes:
(1) Bonus has been taken as one month’s basic pay as at the end of the year i.e. `21,000. In the alternative,
the problem can also be worked out by taking bonus as `20,000, being one month’s basic pay upto
31.12.2021.
(2) Where the accommodation is taken on lease or rent by the employer, the value of rent-free
accommodation provided to employee would be actual amount of lease rental paid or payable by the
employer or 15% of salary, whichever is lower.
For the purposes of valuation of rent free house, salary includes:
(i) Basic salary i.e., `2,43,000
(ii) Dearness allowance i.e. `24,300
(iii) Bonus i.e., `21,000
(iv) Telephone allowance i.e., `6,000
Therefore, salary works out to
2,43,000 + 24,300 + 21,000 + 6,000 = 2,94,300.
15% of salary = 2,94,300 × 15/100 = 44,145
Value of rent-free house = Lower of rent paid by the employer (i.e. `1,20,000) or 15% of salary (i.e.,
`44,145).
Therefore, the perquisite value is `44,145.
(3) Facility of laptop is not a taxable perquisite.
(4) Conveyance allowance is exempt since it is based on actual reimbursement for official purposes.
(5) Premium of `5,000 paid by the company for personal accident policy is not liable to tax.
(6) As per Circular No.15/2001, dated: 12.12.2001, Gift, voucher or token in lieu of gift - It is customary in
India, as it is in other parts of the world, to provide presents directly or indirectly in the form of vouchers or
tokens to employees on social and religious occasions like Diwali, Christmas, New Year, the anniversary of
the organization etc. Such gifts upto ` 5,000 in the aggregate per annum would be exempt, beyond which it
would be taxed as a perquisite. However, gifts made in cash or convertible into cash, like gift cheques etc.
do not fall in the purview of this sub-rule.
Answer 7.
Computation of gratuity taxable in the hands of Mr. X for the P.Y. 2021-22
As per section 10(10), gratuity received by an employee would be exempt upto the least of the following
limits – `
(i) Gratuity received = ` 8,00,000
(ii) Half-month’s salary for every year of completed service
= ½ x 26,700 x 30 = `4,00,500
(iii) Monetary limit = `20,00,000
Received 8,00,000
Less: Exempt (4,00,500)
Taxable 3,99,500
Note:
(1) One of the limits for calculation of gratuity exempt under section 10(10) is one-half-month’s salary for
each year of completed service (fraction of a year to be ignored), calculated on the basis of average salary
for the ten months immediately preceding the month of retirement. In this case, the month of retirement is
January, 2022. Therefore, average salary for the months of March 2021 to December 2021 have to be
considered. The salary is `25,000 p.m. upto 30.09.2021 and `27,000 p.m. from 01.10.2021. Hence, average
salary would be `26,700 [(`25,000 × 7) + (`27,000 × 3) + (2000× 55%×10)]/10.
Further, half-month’s salary should be multiplied by the number of years of completed service and any
fraction of a year has to be ignored. Therefore, in this case, half-month’s salary should be multiplied by 30
and the fraction of 7 months should be ignored.
(2) PS – The requirement of the question has not been specified. Having regard to the information given in
the question, the taxable gratuity has been computed.

- a student studying B.Sc. for whom he is the legal guardian 20,000
44,000 (3,67,000)
Answer 6.
Under section 10(14), any allowance granted to an employee working in a transport system to meet his
personal expenditure during his duty is exempt provided he is not in receipt of daily allowance. The
exemption is 70% of such allowance (i.e., `7,000 per month, being 70% of `10,000) or `10,000 per month,
whichever is less. Hence, `84,000 (i.e., 7,000 × 12) is allowable as deduction under section 10(14).
Answer 6.
Any amount withdrawn from public provident fund as per relevant rules is not exigible to tax. Such
exemption is provided in section 10(11).
Answer 6.
Telephone provided at the residence of the employee and payment of bill by the employer is a tax free
perquisite as per section 17(2)(viii) Rule 3(7)(ix).
Answer 7.
(i) As per section 17(2)(vi), the value of sweat equity shares chargeable to tax as perquisite shall be the fair
market value of such shares on the date on which the option is exercised by the assessee as reduced by the
amount actually paid by, or recovered from, the assessee in respect of such shares.
Particulars `
Fair market value of 1,000 sweat equity shares @ `300 each 3,00,000
Less: Amount recovered from Mr. X 1,000 shares @ `200 each (2,00,000)
Value of perquisite of sweat equity shares allotted to Mr. X 1,00,000
(ii) As per section 49(2AA), where capital gain arises from transfer of sweat equity shares, the cost of
acquisition of such shares shall be the fair market value which has been taken into account for perquisite
valuation under section 17(2)(vi).
Therefore, in case of subsequent sale of sweat equity shares by Mr. X, the cost of acquisition would be
`s3,00,000.
MAY – 2010
Answer 3. Perquisite value for housing loan
The value of the benefit to the assessee resulting from the provision of interest-free or concessional loan
made available to the employee or any member of his household during the relevant previous year by the
employer or any person on his behalf shall be determined as the sum equal to the interest computed at the
rate charged per annum by the State Bank of India (SBI) as on the 1st day of the relevant previous year in
respect of loans for the same purpose advanced by it. This rate should be applied on the maximum
outstanding monthly balance and the resulting amount should be reduced by the interest, if any, actually paid
by him.
“Maximum outstanding monthly balance” means the aggregate outstanding balance for loan as on the last
day of each month.
The perquisite value for computation is 10.50% - 6% = 4.5%
Month Maximum outstanding balance as on Perquisite value at 4.5%
last date of month for the month
