@ John and mulderpf, Thanks for your time for discussing this one.

In my company, there is an option for opting for Meal coupons. I did so and 6k got deducted from my salary. The point is, this money has been deducted from my "remuneration package". Can I show this as part of my earnings ? I can get a letter from my employer saying "This has been a p...
