Dear Suresh,

If ur company is reimbursing you for Driver's salary & the Driver is used only for official purposes then u can deduct the salary of driver ut to the maximum of what ur company is paying u.

No deduction for driver's salary paid for own car from salary Income.

However if the driver's salary paid by employee and then reimbursement by the company and driver is for the official purpose only then it will not consider for perquisities.

Mr. Suresh

Reimbursed by the company -Include the reimbursed amount in salary and from that reduce the amount paid to driver.

Not reimbursed by the company - cannot be deducted.

Salary to director directly paid by the company - considered as perquisite to employee and the value of the perquisite is included in the employees salary.

if driver's salary paid by company through pay-slip and such driver is totally used for official purpose, then such amount can be claimed as deduction from your salary. if it is not farming part of ur salary, and reimbursed from company, then it is a perquisite, thouhg such driver is officially used.(plz refer rule 3 of IT)
