Our company is giving free meal coupnes of Rs.1500/- per month.As provison says that it should be for working days ony.As the working day in the month remain 26 and on the said basis Rs.50/- per day for meal is allowed.I am in confusion that as per working days of 26 days 26*50=1300 are tax free and balance Rs.200/- will be taxable perk?Let me confirm if employee is on leave for 4-5 days than we have to maintain record for that and meal free meal coupon for leave days will be considered as taxable?
