Dear Expert,
Are Sudexho meal coupons taxable under Income Tax Act? if it so, what is the limit per day and per month?

Meal vouchers are included in the salary breakup to reduce the tax liability of the employees. It is exempted up to 15000/- per annum. The calculation is as follows Rs.50 per day for 25 working days in a month for 12 months.ie 50*25*12=15000/-. Any amount over and above 15000/- in an year will be charged to taxable salary of the employees. So if you are paying Rs.1500 per month as food coupon Rs.250/- will be chargeable to tax in each month.
