Such food coupons are Taxable As Perquisite in the Hands Of The Employee.
However, such meal coupons are tax EXEMPT up to Rs 50 Per Meal.
A calculation based on 22 working days and 2 meals a day results in a monthly benefit of Rs 2,200 (22*100). Consequently,
the exemption works up to Rs 26,400(yearly).

Ok so where to claim this deduction. In sec 10 in others exemptions column .Am I right. 

You will get partly exemption of perquisite under section 17(2).
