23 October 2015 Dear experts,
Weather cash given to employee on diwali less then 5000 is taxable or not...

Plz confirm....

23 October 2015 If the aggregate value of gift received by the employee from employer, during the previous year, does not exceeds Rs. 5,000/- then such Gift is not taxable in the hands of employee. If gift received during the previous year exceeds Rs. 5,000, then whole amount of gift received will be chargeable to tax.

Refer Rule 3 of Income tax Rules.
