18 September 2015 the prizes in the regular course of business are not taxable in the hands of employees, especially so when it is linked with TQM or Kaizen etc.
However the care be taken that the same does not amount to INCENTIVE. In your case it appears as INCENTIVE and hence taxable in the hands of employees.
