Fringe benefits is defined as any benefit,emenity or facility provided by the employer to the employee except when tax is paid by the employee or when tax is paid by the employer.As per this definition can an educational loan is not a fringebenefit since it is a facility provided by the employer to employee.

When the rate of interest is higher than SBI rate it is not perequisite.
