We are receiving Meal Coupan worth Rs. 3000/- per month I would like to know wheather it is taxable or not.Under New notification No. 94 Dt. 18.12.2009.

The value of free food and non-alcoholic beverages provided by the employer to an employee shall be the amount of expenditure incurred by such employer. The amount so determined shall be reduced by the amount, if any, paid or recovered from the employee for such benefit or amenity:

According to Section 17(2), amount exempt, for any meal facility including non-transferable meal coupon in Office Premises during working hours, is Rs. 50 per meal.
Therefore taxable amount will be included in salary, as follow:
Taxable Amount = 3,000 - 50(per meal)*No. of working days(say 25)
So, Taxable Amount = 3,000 - 50*25
= Rs. 1,750
NOTE: From Rs. 1,750 that amount is deductable which received from employee, if any.
