W.e.f. 1-4-2008, if an employer providing such by the employer facility to his employee is not liable to pay fringe benefit tax, the value of such perquisite shall be :
a) Nil, if the motor car is used by the employee wholly and exclusively in the performance of his official duties.
b) Actual expenditure incurred by the employer on the running and maintenance of motor car including remuneration to chauffeur as increased by the amount representing normal wear and tear of the motor car and as reduced by any amount charged from the employee for such use (in case the motor car is exclusively for private or personal purposes of the employee or any member of his household).
c) Rs. 1200-(plus Rs. 600-, if chauffeur is also provided) per month (in case the motor car is used partly in performance of duties and partly
for private or personal purposes of the employee or any member of his household if the expenses on maintenance and running of motor car are met or reimbursed by the employer). However, the value of perquisite will be Rs. 1600-(plus Rs. 600-, if chauffeur is also provided) per month if the cubic capacity
of engine of the motor car exceeds 1.6 litres.
d) Rs. 400- (plus Rs. 600-, if chauffeur is also provided) per month (In case the motor car is used partly in performance of duties and partly for private or personal purposes of the employee or any member of his household if the expenses on maintenance and running of motar car for such private or personal use are fully met by the employee). However, the value of perquisite will be Rs. 600- (plus Rs. 600-, if chauffeur is also provided) per month if the cubic capacity of engine of the motor car exceeds 1.6 litres. If the motor car or any other automotive conveyance is owned by the employee but the actual running and maintenance charges are met or reimbursed by the employer, the method of valuation of perquisite value is different.
