Meal coupons- limit per day


This query is : Open 

09 December 2009 Due to abolition of FBT, now the food coupons will be categorized as perquisites in the hands of employee if as per rule 3 value of meal exceed Rs.50 per meal.
Any one can suggest a maximum reasonable limit of food coupons we can give to employees per month as per rule? I am asking because I got an information from Accore serivces Website as follows,

"If you opt for Ticket Restaurant® Meal Vouchers @ Rs. 100/- per working day, instead of cash in your salary, the tax you save on Rs. 31,200 i.e. (Rs. 100/- x 26 days x 12 months)"

Is it possible to give Rs 100/- per day ?

For Ref: https://www.accorservices.co.in/ProductAndServices/TicketRestaurantMealVouchers/Pages/FAQ.aspx

09 December 2009 Rule 3 should prevail i.e.Rs. 50 per meal...
all the conditions in rule 3 would apply while taxing these transaction
