what is helper allowance? #
Helper Allowance is any such allowance, granted to meet the expenditure incurred on a helper where such a helper is required to perform the official duties. Employees sometimes require additional support to complete their official duties on time. Some of the jobs by nature require additional helper support based on the requirement the employee can hire a helper for himself to complete his assignments.
Such additional helpers will not be part of the company’s payroll and usually, they will be assisting with specific tasks. once the task is completed the employee may no longer require the support of the helper. In such cases, the employees were provided with helper allowance to compensate for the expenses that they might have paid for the helpers for their assistance.
This allowance is exempted to the extent of the expenditure incurred by the employee for hiring the helper and the remaining excess allowance after the actual expenditure is taxable.
