but the co. is treating it as a staff welfare expense stating the amount is not material (80000 approx) & the utensils will not last for a long.
if it is teated as staff welfare , is FBT charged on this?
pls advice

No... FBT is not chargeable...
Even if the employer takes such expenses to Profit and Loss A/c, it is realting to provision of food and beverages to employes inside the office, which is excluded from the definition of fringe benefits u/s 115WB.
So FBT is not chargeable in either case...!!
Hope this helps you...
