As most of the employees are high salaried persons in our company, I want to know whether we can give any more exemptions to employees like food coupons, driver salary, vehicle maintenance etc.
If we can,please let me know the maximum amount we can give on food coupons, drivers salary and vehicle maintenace.

c) If any allowance is received for education and hostel stay of employees’ children from the employer, exemption can be claimed u/s10 (14).
d) Telephone facility received by an employee at his residence is not taxable in the hands of the employee as against telephone allowance which is fully taxable.
