15 Diwali Gift Ideas for
Employees, By Budget

Most mid-sized companies spend ₹1,500–₹3,000 per employee for company-wide gifting, with senior staff and key clients typically in the ₹3,000+ band. Choose the tier that matches your team size and company stage.

Fully custom branded hampers need 6–8 weeks of lead time. Semi-custom or pre-curated options need 3–4 weeks. Ready-to-ship catalogue items typically need at least 2 weeks for pan-India delivery.

MintBox curated hampers start from 25 units. Individual (non-hamper) products typically start from a 10-unit MOQ - confirm the exact minimum for your chosen items when you request a quote.

Non-cash gifts to an employee - hampers, vouchers, tokens - are treated as a perquisite. Under Rule 3(7)(iv) of the Income Tax Rules (read with Section 17(2)), the exemption applies only while the aggregate value in the financial year stays under ₹5,000; once that threshold is reached, the full amount becomes taxable, not just the excess. This is general information, not tax advice - confirm the current rule with your finance team or a qualified tax adviser before finalising your gifting policy.
