CBDT notifies Rule for determination of value of perquisite

With reference to the above subject and the attached gazette publications, wef 01.09.2023, the perquisite for residential accommodation provided by employer will be taxed as per the new rule. CBDT has modified Rule 3 of Income Tax Rules, 1961 to provide for the same.

The categorization and the limits of cities and population have now been based on the 2011 census as against the 2001 census earlier.

The following table displays the revised categorisation and rates:

Perquisite Rate for Accommodation owned by employer and given to an employee

Previous Categorisation and RatesNew Categorisation and Rates
PopulationPerquisite ratePopulationPerquisite rate
More than 25 lakh15%More than 40 lakh10%
Between 10 lakh to 25 lakh10%Between 15 lakh and 40 lakh7.5%
Less than 10 lakh7.5%Less than 15 lakh5%

The Rule has also been further rationalized so as to compute a fair tax implication of the same accommodation being occupied by an employee for more than one previous year.

The first tax year is tax year 2023-24 or the tax year in which the accommodation is provided to the employee, whichever is later.
