24 March 2010Kindly suggest,
What is the concept behind taking different meaning for different type of allowances and perquisites for eg. for HRA, Gratuity, Pensions etc etc - we consider only Basic salary + DA (for Ret. ben.) + Commission. (Fixed %) and for Rent free accommodation we take Basic salary + Bonus + All allowances + commission + monetary payment while for Entertainment allowance we take only Basic salary.
Can any one please tell me, is there any concept behind such valuation ??

Krishna, well your question is very intersting and very practical, Me too think as like you But ye sirf kitabi gyan hai, there is not any concept. The only thing is that you should have an idea about them for examination purpose.

Yes, You are right, we take only taxable allowances but my question was, why we take all taxable allowances for Rent Free Accommodation while in the case of other valuation like Gratuity, Pension, HRA etc etc. we take only Dearness allowances (for retirement benefit) besides Basic pay and Commission.
