UNDER SECTION 115 WB(2)(C),EXPENDITURE ON INHOUSE TRAINING OF EMPLOYEES(EXCLUDING TRAVELLIG,BOARDING AND LODGING EXPENSES)DOES NOT ATTRACT FBT. SIMILARLY FEES PAID FOR PARTICIPATION BY EMPLOYEES IN ANY CONFERENCE(EXCLUDING TRAVELLING,BOARDING AND LODGING EXPENSES)DO NOT ATTRACT FBT. (WE CAN SAFELY TAKE FEES FOR PARTICIPATION IN TRAINING ALSO AS EXCLUDED LIKE CONFERENCES PARTICIPATION FEES FROM FBT THOUGH NOT EXPLICTLY MENTIONED)). NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WAS NO WHERE STATED IN THE SECTION OR SUBSECTION AS ANY LIMITATION FACTOR AND HENCE IS NOT AN ISSUE . AS ALSO FIXED CONFERENCE ALLOWANCE TO EMPLOYEES OR DIRECTORS DOES NOT ATTRACT FBT. BUT HOLD ON AS ANY EXPENDITURE ON ATTENDING TRAINING PROGRAMMES ORGANISED BY TRADE BODIES ATTRACTS FBT. SIMILARLY EXP. ON CONFERENCE FOR AGENT,DEALERS/DEV.ADVISORS ATTRACTS FBT. R.V.RAO
