115WB(2) is so wide to include this kind of expenditure.

Pooja Exps are regular office exps...and no FBT is applicable.

Not liable for FBT

no tds is not atrracted towards daily pooja expenses. however, festive celebration like diwali, holi, id, etc. would attract fbt

Daily pooja expenses can be treated  as office expenses. However, management contribution for celebration of Durga Pooja/ Diwali/ Id/ etc shall attract FBT since such expenses are for general welfare of the employees.

FBT provisions talk about only expenses relating to festival celebrations and not daily pooja exps

No pooja expenses r not liable for fbt.

this is because it may also be classified as staff welfare exp
