Hi, The recent amendments in perquisites on the Food & Beverages say that if they are paid through Non-transferrable Vouchers during office hours, then, they are exempt.
Now, does this Rule apply to the Amounts paid through Electronic Meal Cards issued by the Banks ? It will be great if I can get the response at the earliest.
