08 July 2007 Dear Anil and also Monark
Let me make it very clear to you that all these expenses mentioned by you are deemed fringe benefits under section 115W(c). It is nowhere written in the act that the expenditure must be on employees. Rather it is written that expenditure incurred on any person will attract FBT. Hence these expenses are liable to FBT.
