4.Policy/Process

4.1. Definiton

√ Under Scheme A, eligible employees will be provided with a car that is completely owned,
maintained and insured by the Company. The employees will have no ownership right over
the vehicle except that the vehicle will be allotted exclusively for official and limited personal
use.
√ The employee has no option on the choice of vehicle.
√ Under Scheme B, eligible employees can avail of a leased car for both official duties as well
as for personal use. For this purpose, the Company has entered into an agreement with a
car lease finance company where the employee will participate in the lease payments. The
vehicle will be assigned to the employee exclusively and at the end of the lease tenure, the
vehicle ownership will belong to the employee.
√ The employee has an option on the choice of vehicle.

√ Full finance is available without any down-payment requirement. The monthly equated
amount includes the following:

o Ex-Showroom cost of the car


o Registration Fees
o Insurance & Road taxes
o Cost of Accessories

4.2. Procedure
√ The process starts with the eligible employee opting for one of the schemes and approaches
the HR Admin team for initiating the procedure.
√ Under Scheme A, HR Admin will forward the requirement to Procurement team, who will set
the vehicle procurement process in motion
√ The procured vehicle will be owned by the Company and treated as an Asset in the books of
accounts.
√ Once the vehicle is procured and allotted to an eligible employee, an internal agreement on
the use, maintenance and safety of the vehicle has to be signed by the employee before the
same is handed over.
√ Under Scheme B, HR Admin will contact the car lease company and based on the
employee’s choice of vehicle, a supplementary agreement will be signed with the employee
for regular use and purchase of the vehicle thereafter at the end of the lease tenure.
√ Based on these documents, employees can take delivery of the car.

√ On receiving the delivery of the car, the employee needs to forward the following docs to the
Admin Department.
o Original Invoice
o Copy of Insurance Cover Note
o Copy of Registration Certificate Book
o Copy of Insurance Policy
√ Admin then intimates the payment schedule included in the Agreement to the HR Admin
Department
√ On receiving the Payment Schedule, the HR Admin Department provides the necessary
inputs to the Payroll Department via the monthly salary input.
√ Any pre-conditions on the lease with the Car Lease Finance Company must be adhered to
by all parties mentioned therein.
√ The Car Lease Finance Company will raise monthly rental bills and send it to the Admin
Department who will forward the same to the Accounts Department for payments.
√ Deferment of installment payments to the leasing company are not allowed under this
scheme
√ The vehicle has to be bought by the employee as per agreed terms at the end of the lease
tenure or in case of foreclosure at the behest of the employee.

4.3. Maintenance / Repairs / Normal Running /


Insurance
The employee will be required to maintain the car in good condition & incur all running costs
including costs of fuel, oils, air, cleaning, parking, etc. as required from time to time. If, as
per agreement, the vehicle has to be handed over to the Car Lease company for periodical
maintenance or repairs, then the employee is required to abide by the same. However, if
maintenance and repairs are not covered under the agreement, employees will undertake to
bear such expenses.

Traffic or parking violations or seizure of the vehicle by authorities for such violations will be
the whole responsibility of the employee.

Any accidents caused due to negligence, carelessness, overspeeding or driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs will be the whole responsibility of the employee.

4.4. Foreclosure:
√ Premature exiting from the car scheme by returning the car at any point of time is allowed
under the Scheme A. However, under Scheme B, premature exit from the scheme is
allowed only by paying the balance installments, including any foreclosure fees / charges /
penalties, as appropriate. This may include transfer charges of vehicle ownership too.
√ The working of the foreclosure charges would be as agreed with the Car Lease Finance
Company.
√ In case the employee resigns to join a new organization, there is a possibility of assigning
the car to that organization by the Car Lease Finance Company. This will need to be
mutually decided by the Leasing Company and the employee’s new organization for
continuity of the lease.
4.5. Transfers
In case of inter-location transfers within the company, the car leasing company will organize
all the necessary formalities. The concerned employee will be required to contact the HR
Admin Department to initiate necessary processes.

In case of transfers to a subsidiary / affiliate / sister company, the car can be assigned to the
new subsidiary if it also has an agreement with the said Car Lease Finance Company.

The transfer charges will be borne by the company if transfer is company-initiated. It will be
borne by the employee if transfer is employee-initiated.

4.6. Overall Coordination / Clarification /


Suggestions
√ The Car Schemes will be coordinated by the HR Admin Department. The department
shall maintain an MIS pertaining to the scheme across all locations of the Company.
√ All clarifications with regard to the scheme can be obtained from the HR Admin
Department.
