How Corporate Slab Rate Billing Works — And Why It Saves Your Company Money

Every quarter, finance teams at Bangalore's IT companies look at their cab reimbursement bills and wince. The numbers are high, the receipts are inconsistent, and nobody can explain why a 12 km ride cost ₹380 one day and ₹720 another. Slab-rate billing was invented to solve exactly this problem.

What Is Slab-Rate Billing?

Slab-rate billing charges a fixed amount per trip based on distance band — not a running meter or per-km rate. At SF Travels, we use this structure:

• 0–10 km: ₹600 flat
• 11–20 km: ₹700 flat
• 21–30 km: ₹800 flat
• 31+ km: ₹900 flat

Why App-Based Cabs Cost More for Corporates

App cabs use dynamic surge pricing. A 6 AM corporate pickup or a midnight IT shift drop can cost 2–3× the normal fare. Over a month with 200 employee trips, that surge premium adds up to ₹40,000–₹80,000 in unnecessary spend.

The Predictability Advantage

With slab-rate billing, your finance team can predict the exact monthly transport budget. No surprises. No disputes. Just clean, GST-compliant invoices by the 5th of every month.
