Please confirm, does driver is also utilized wholly for official purpose?
If Yes, then why company is not paying directly to driver.

Yes, driver is utilized wholly for official purpose. Since the driver is appointed by the Employee for travelling to and fro for official duty, company insisting that employee has to pay and company will reimburse the salary.

Then it should not be taxed in the hands of employee.
It seems strange that driver is hired only for official purpose and salary is paid thru employee. This way employer may be avoiding his obligations under various acts PF, ESI etc.
