ADVANCE SALARY – Advance Salary is fully taxable provided it not utilized for the purpose of
purchasing a Fixed Asset. In case if Advance Salary is utilized for the purchase of fixed asset then
it should be completely IGNORED since it will be considered as a loan from the employer. And loan
is not an income as it is to be repaid.
If only the word Advance is mentioned in the problem, then too it is considered as a Loan.

for official or personal purpose.
