How To Value This Perquisite
The valuation will be done the basis of interest charged by State Bank of India on first day of relevant previous year .So for the Financial year 2009-10 the rate of SBI as on 01/04/2009 will be applicable .So if Loan to employee or his household is provided at a rate less than SBI rate on first day of the previous year then the difference of interest will be charged as perquisite in hands of employee.So if the Interest rate on which loan is provided is more than Rate charged by SBi on relevant date ,then valuation of the perquisite will be nil.Process to calculate the perks value is Given below.

Find Out the Maximum outstanding monthly balance For each loan on the last day of each month.
Find Out the rate of interest Charged by the SBI on that type of loan on the first day of relevant previous year (for FY 2009-10 check rate as applicable on Loan from SBI on 01.04.2009)
