Is money given by company to buy a laptop taxable?

I'm joining a remote company, and they usually send employees amazon gift cards so that they can buy laptops.

In the case of India, since the max gift card amount is 10k rupees, it is a little inconvenient. Hence, they're sending me the money to buy it myself, but I'm worried if this amount will be considered taxable.

Depends on how the company treats this. If its a reimbursement, you can show itnas a deductible, if a perquisite,then taxable
