Hi,

Our company is introducing a new policy. The company is into furniture and fixtures. We do have a Marketing and Sales Department. So we want to implement the petrol price to be given per kilometer. Considering the petrol price is Rs. 73, how much petrol conveyance can be given per kilometer?

Petrol expenses reimbursement should not be standard for all employees. Employees entitled to using 4-wheelers should get around Rs. 8 per km, and employees using 2-wheelers should receive around Rs. 4 per km. If employees are using their personal vehicles, they should also receive fixed vehicle maintenance charges.

Dear Kamal,

Could you please explain how we calculate travel reimbursement per kilometer? You mentioned Rs. 8/km for a 4-wheeler and Rs. 4/km for a 2-wheeler. How were these figures determined? Can you shed some light on the derivation and calculation process?

Thank you.

It's a rough calculation.

In the city, a 4-wheeler (6-7 years old) gives a minimum average of 10 km per liter. So the actual expense is Rs. 7.5/-

For a 2-wheeler, the minimum average is 20 km per liter. The actual expense is Rs. 3.75/-

Why to take into account the minimum average, it should be the normal one i.e. for car ranging 12-15 km./ltr. and for 2 wheelers 40-45 km./ltr.

The reimbursement of mileage for the use of a personal car on company work is not calculated only on the basis of the price of petrol and the fuel consumption rate of the vehicle. It includes the amortized expenses on account of:

- Price of petrol and 10-12 kms/litre for non-AC usage and 8-10 kms/litre for AC ones.
- Cost of normal wear and tear/Insurance/Road tax/driver salary (if entitled). For senior management, even the EMI on the car may be included.

On average, at today's prices and rates, the reimbursement per kilometer would be a minimum of Rs. 10/- per km for non-AC and Rs. 12/- per km for AC. If you were to hire a car, you would be paying a minimum of Rs. 12/- per km for non-AC (other than the usual battered Ambys/Indicas) and Rs. 15/- per km for an AC Indigo.

I trust this information would prove to be useful, and I have provided the rates applicable to a metro city like Mumbai, Delhi, etc.

Dear All,

I think for a two-wheeler, the formula should be considered as follows:

The current fuel price is Rs. 83 (which can vary from city to city).
The average mileage of a two-wheeler is considered to be 45 KM/l.
83/45 = 1.84/KM
Hence, Rs. 1.84/KM will be the fair price.

Correct me if I am wrong.
