The tax on Indian salary is borne by M. In addition to his salary in India (which continues to be credited in his salary account in India), he is entitled to DA and hardship allowance abroad. The company agrees to pay tax on the income abroad. In terms of perquisite, he is entitled to house, car with driver, telephone, medical (on actual basis) and upto $ 200 per month for meeting miscellaneous expenses on actual basis.
The questions on the above case study are as follows:
