Travel reimbursement in Salary Structure- would it be feasible

I am writing to inquire about the possibility of including travel reimbursement in our salary structure for employees who frequently travel for business purposes.

As you may be aware, it often requires employees to travel to various locations to attend meetings, conferences, and other work-related events. Currently, these expenses are reimbursed separately, outside of the regular salary structure.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and discussing the potential integration of travel reimbursement into our salary structure.

Hi Siva

Any expenses incurred due to business travel shall be reimbursed separately & shall not be part of the wages. How can you decide as How much will the expenses per month due to business travel? What is the mechanism that you are planning? If at all thats included as part of the salary then even that amount will attract Income Tax which is loss to the employee as well

Hi,

If you want to include travel reimbursement as part of salary structure then probably you may arrive at Grade wise Travel reimbursement entitlement which can form part of CTC. However reimbursement cannot be made on actual expenses but limited to Grade wise entitlement.

Travel expenses are incurred for the business development of an organisation and as such it cannot be considered as a part of CTC. However, you can restructure travel expenses entitlement as per the grade or position.
