Prior to FY06, employees paid tax on certain perquisites. However, with the introduction of Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT), the onus of paying tax on perks shifted to the employer.

Perks are benefits over and above the normal salary received by an employee.

Query - During the starting of this year when my Company was collecting proof of doc. for HRA, by mistake I have given some wrong doc.

Based on the revised calculation you can claim the refund if any or pay tax liability if arises.
