Shares given by trust is perquisities or gift tax


20 May 2011 Hi,

Infosys recently gifted shares to its employees via Infosys welfare trust. This has not been shown in Form 16. Should this be considered perquisites or can be considered in gift tax ambit where upto50000 is exempt.

21 May 2011 REFER TO THE CASE CIT & Anr. v. Infosys Technologies Ltd. (2007) 15 (I) ITCL 181 (Karn-HC) : (2007) 293 ITR 146 (Karn) '

22 May 2011 Appreciate your quick response Manoj.

After reading the jist of the case, my understanding is that it is not considered as perquisite hence doesn't come under tax liability.

Please clarify when the IT returns are filed, should this be declared under exempt income or no mention is required.

Regards
Vijay
