29 July 2010 There may not be any problem. However, if the AO raises any query on the nature of such credits, the employee must be able to establish the fact that the amount is in the nature of reimbursement & not income. It would be advisable to maintain copies of such bills incurred on behalf of the company on which reimbursement was claimed.

Today most of the banks offer Employee Reimbursement Account (ERA) which is attached to the employees salary account and used by companies to credit reimbursement to the employees. It would be advisable to route all such reimbursements through ERA.
