Hello All, Does anyone still do food coupons for employees to save tax? or its an outdated method? Please suggest what else does everyone do to help employees save on taxes. TIA!
j
Hey, Companies still do food coupons, but mostly with Zeta or Paytm food wallet. There are multiple other fbp that org uses but that depends on org structure and salaries..like books and periodicals, electronics for senior employees, internet, phone bill etc.
n
And are they accepted easily? How difficult is it for HR / Accounts to manage the whole initiative?
j
So it is optional for employees, they have option to choose it at the beginning of financial year/doj and it is directly debited from salary and goes to food wallet. Currently food wallets are very seemless that makes the usage pretty easy

@Namrata Salian - we use Zaggle tax benefit platform for employees.
n
Oh how has your experience been?
s
it's one platform to manage employee expenses like reimbursement/ travelling expenses etc and tax benefit as well. So far pretty good.
n
And costs?
