What is petrol allowance for employees?
Fuel allowance or petrol allowance in salary is one of the components of flexible benefits provided by employers to their employees.
It covers the expenses incurred on fuel for official purposes. Employers give a fixed amount that employees can use towards their fuel expenses.
It is essentially an allowance given to employees who use their personal vehicles for work-related travel.
Fuel allowance tax exemption - how much is exempted?
The fuel allowance received by employees is subject to certain tax exemptions under section 10. The government has set a maximum limit of ₹ 2400 per month.
It means for an employee who has a taxable salary, ₹2400 of the monthly salary is non-taxable if the employer chooses to offer fuel allowance.
Petrol allowance calculation - how to do it?
The upper limit allowance for petrol/fuel is fixed by the government as ₹2400 per month for all employees with taxable income. Therefore, you don’t have to calculate fuel allowance.
