20 March 2009 There is no specific notifications/clarification issued by the department. However if you will post these expenses under Travelling Expenses then FBT will be applicable on this expenses.

However in my opinion it is the part of travelling expenses and should be posted under the same account head.

However, if you want to avoid FBT then you can post these expense under Misc. Expenses.
