Does daily or weekly or monthly pooja expenses incurred at office other than incurred during

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

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

its better to charge whole of pooja exps to fbt rather than only including pooja exps during festivals which is a conservative approach.
though sec115WB only talks about charging fbt on pooja during festivals.
this is because it may also be classified as staff welfare exp
