29 March 2012 Such reimbursement is not taxable in the hands of the employee since the expenditure has been incurred for official purpose, provided the company has a policy that shifting expenses shall be paid by the company to its employees.

29 March 2012 As per Rule 2BB read with Sec 10(14), any expenses incuured on tour or travel or TRANSFER shall be exempt.
Exemption will be lower of the following -
i) Amount received as reallocation expenses.

Therefore ,if employer has reimbursed actual expenses than nothing is taxable.
However, if employee has not incurred all the expenses then excess amount shall be taxable.
