3. The employer reimbursed the expenditure of Rs.15,000 spent by the employee in obtaining medical treatment for his brother ( a member of the family) from a doctor in
Now, total medical expenses reimbursement comes to Rs.5,65,000 (Rs.2,00,000 + Rs.3,50,000 + Rs.15,000 ).
Is this Rs.5,65,000/- perquisite non taxable?
Do the lines in the act not encourage to infer so?
