If employer pays any insurance premium on behalf of his employee then it will be regarded as income of the employee and it will be added in the gross salary as perquisite U/s 17(2)(V) .

However the following two insurance premium paid by the employer on behalf of employee shall not be taxable for employee:
a) Medical Insurance Premium;
b) Personal Accident Insurance Premium.

Thanks
