Hi Experts,

A Employer is providing Sodexo petrol coupon to its employees. Is this not taxable in the hands of employees.

As per Income tax rules only Sodexo meal coupons are exempted from tax to the extent of Rs.100/- per day Maximum of Rs.2,200/- Per month.

My question is that Sodexo coupon is exempted under income tax under which section. Please provide experts opinion on this from the point of Income Tax department.

Thanks
Parameshwar

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the taxability of Sodexo petrol coupons provided by employers to employees. Unlike Sodexo meal vouchers, which have specific tax exemptions under Indian Income Tax rules, the tax status of petrol coupons is unclear. The original poster is seeking clarification on whether Sodexo petrol coupons are considered taxable income and under which section of the Income Tax Act they might be exempted, if at all.
