02 July 2021 1 Calculate perq based on rental rates prevailing in that location.
2 lt will be considered as gift to employees(value considered for stamp duty) and added to salary of the employees and taxed.

02 July 2021 Any capital Gain for empolyer? instead of gift as I feel can be taken as perq, since it is in term of employment.

02 July 2021 It will fall under gift only as property transferred without adequate consideration.
Capital gains to employer will not arise as it's given as gift.
