I guess, you wants to add it, to exclude from Minimum Wages Act. In fact, many organization do this, by showing it as project allowance (in case of project in different location), or any other allowance.
As I have also gone through from this.

Dear HR (Anonymous )
Your situation seems to be in confusion. All the esteemed members suggested a correct & appropriate view in your case. Food and accommodation not to be included in the payslip.It may be in CTC for reference purpose. I hope you can understand the whole idea for not including the F&A in salary slips of your employees.
1. Your company will get the Tax benefit for the food and accommodation provided to the employees under welfare-employees.
2. Then showing in the payslip will create further more problem. Once the company takes the advantage of reduced tax and the employees will get levied with the fringe benefit tax is not acceptable.
3. This thing will be against the employee and it will lead to more attrition rate in your company.
4. As a HR you must take care of the benefit of the employees and you are the representative of the employees to take up the issues with management.
So act amicably discuss this issue with your management stating the pros & corns of the issue.

I also Agree with Mr.Boss2966 as a HR we should be favor of employees not management. Mr.Firoz our suggestion is should not show in the payslip.
Even in our company also we are providing free food, accommodation and transportation but we are not showing in the payslip.
Better check your minimum wages what you are paying?

Please let us know then what should reflect on salary slip if we are considering Flexi salary structure.
Is it possible that few reimbursement (fully tax exemption) should reflect on slip so that employee can't confuse at all?
should I add, food coupon, Telephone bill etc and reflect it on salary slip. (Our most of employees are millennials)

2. Mobile / Telephone Reimbursement: monthly cap normally of Rs 2000 per month. Please note that reimbursement can be claimed only for Postpaid Connections.
3. Children Education Allowance:
4. Children Hostel Allowance: You can claim max Rs 7,200 p.a. for 2 children.
5. Soft Furnishing Allowance:Max reimbursement is limited to justify the same. For Mid-Managers, Soft Furnishing Reimbursement is restricted upto Rs 50,000 depending on the salary of person. The reason for soft furnishing reimbursement is that employee need to entertain guests at his residence for official purpose and expense incurred to protect office furniture at residence.
6. Newspaper, Books and Periodicals: cap the max limit to Rs 1000 per month.
7. Reimbursement of Conveyance Expenses:
8. Daily Allowance:
9. Research Allowance: Any amount spent & reimbursement claimed by employee for academic research or other professional pursuits including training, short term / online course etc. is fully exempted from income tax on production of actual bills.
