Employee Reimbursements are audited and the Income Tax department puts the responsibility on the employee to ensure that bills are proper and authentic. It is recommended that all employees strictly follow the rules related to reimbursements or else even if one case comes up for checking, all employees can be subjected to scrutiny and if discrepancy found, prosecution from IT department.
· Please note the below:
a. Bills to be rejected if there is any over-writing on the same.
b. Entertainment bills should specify the name of client met.
c. Claimed Bills should be of Working Days only.
d. If you are claiming Driver Salary, Driver’s salary receipt should have revenue stamp & signature of the driver on the same. Also need to submit the Log book for the Car Usage.

Thanks for your detailed information.
If the Employee take the Car on lease instead of Employer does he eligible for Car Lease allowance.
I read some articles saying, Car lease will be applicable only if Car is provided by Company.
Also, what is the limit for the same.

Hi @Rameshbv
Yes, he is eligible for the Car Lease provided proper documents to be provided.
To be honest, at the end of the day all the above should be treated as Reimbursements and should not be paid with Salary.
Company has to treat this as Expense Reimbursement in their book of accounts.

Hi @sneham95
These are available in greytHR as a part of Expense Claim / Reimbursement.
We are also building these templates will soon share it - but to automate this, I recommend use a tool like greytHR to help during auditing etc.,
