Difference in taxation of company leased car

This query is : Resolved 

09 April 2025 Between old and new tax regime, are there any differences in tax benefits for employee incase he uses company lease car. Car belongs to company and is leased to employee for 3 years. Car lease is less than 50k per month.

11 April 2025 The monthly lease rental paid by the company is not considered a taxable perquisite in your hands.
Secondly, the perquisite value for personal use of the car is also the same under both regimes.
So, in general, there doesn't seem any difference in both the tax regime.

12 April 2025 Thank you Shri. Dhirajlal Ji. Appreciate.

If i understand you correctly, you think that tax benefit on car lease won't reduce if I shift to new tax regime.

However, I heard from multiple sources that in new tax regime, car lease amount paid by company after deduction from my salary, maintenance, fuel, chauffer salary reimbursement to me is fully considered as taxable prerequisite.

While in old tax regime, tax prerequisite is only Rs.1600 per month for fuel plus maintenance and 900 pm for driver salary and lease amount is fully non taxable.

Which document should I read to understand this myself pls ?



12 April 2025 If the car is only used for company's work, it will not be taxable to you, as it is not considered as perquisites. But if it is used for personal purpose, it will be added to your salary income, which will be taxable in both the regime equivalently. Considering slab rate, new regime would be more beneficial.

12 April 2025 Is there any document I can refer for details pls

12 April 2025 Thanks a lot. Thing is nowwhere it is mentioned how NTR treats car lease. So I think treatment must be same then.

12 April 2025 Good Luck...
