agreed with Mr. Ramesh As per my opinion there will be add perquisite for use of asset of company
Use of assets - It is common practice for an asset owned by the employer to be used by the employee or any member of his household. This perquisite is to be charged at the rate of 10% of the original cost of the asset as reduced by any charges recovered from the employee for such use. However, the use of Computers and Laptops would not give rise to any perquisite.

Here’s a detailed response to your queries regarding perquisites, TDS on payments, and proof requirements for LTA/LTC:
### 1. Perquisite on Motor Car
**If the motor car is owned by the employer and the running and maintenance costs are borne by the employee:**
- **Perquisite Calculation:** - If the motor car is owned by the employer and the running and maintenance costs are borne by the employee, the car is considered a perquisite in the hands of the employee. - The perquisite value is determined based on the engine capacity of the car and whether the car is used for official purposes or personal purposes.
**Conveyance Allowance or Transport Allowance under Section 10(14):**
- **Conveyance Allowance (₹800 p.m.)**: This allowance is exempt from tax up to ₹800 per month under Section 10(14) of the Income Tax Act if it is used for commuting between the place of residence and place of work. - **Impact on Taxable Perquisite**: If the employer provides a motor car as a perquisite and the employee bears the running and maintenance costs, the perquisite value of the car will still be computed. The conveyance allowance under Section 10(14) will be exempt to the extent of ₹800 per month, but this exemption does not affect the perquisite value of the car.
### 2. Payment of Freight to Non-Resident Non-Shipping Company
**TDS Applicability:**
- **Section 195**: Payments to non-residents, including freight payments to a non-resident non-shipping company, are subject to TDS under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act. - **Rate of TDS**: The TDS rate depends on the nature of the payment and the provisions of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and the country of residence of the non-resident. If there is no DTAA, the domestic TDS rate for the relevant category of payment will apply.
### 3. TDS on Director Sitting Fee
**TDS Applicability:**
- **Section 194J**: TDS on sitting fees paid to directors for attending board meetings is covered under Section 194J. - **Rate of TDS**: The TDS rate is 10% on sitting fees.
