Whether relocaion expenses paid by the employer to employee to relocate from the place of residence or any other place to the place of office attracts FBT. If, so under which caegory it attracts?

accordng to the provsons of Sec 10(14) of the act read with Rull 2BB, Any allowance (by whatever name called)granted to meet the cost of travel on tour or on transfer (ncluding any sum incurred paid in connecton with transfer, packing and transportation of personal effects on such transfer) is exempt to the extent of actual expendiure incurred for the said purpose.
Accordngly, the relocation expenses are exempt in the hands of employees.

The relocation allowance referred in the query,if it is paid in connection with transfer of the employee,will come u/s 10 (14). In other cases section 115WB(1)(a) attracts. You are also requested to see question no 47 in circular no 8/2005 dated 29/08/2005.
