Remote offers a default monthly meal voucher amount of ₹2,200/~27USD (₹100 per day based on 22 working days), paid through the Pazcare flex benefits card provider. In India, while offering meal vouchers is common, it is not mandatory. This benefit allows employees enrolled under the old tax regime to enjoy tax exemptions on meal vouchers, leading to tax savings based on their specific tax slab. Since this is a salary deduction, employees can opt in or out as they wish, without any additional cost for the employer. For more information, please visit here.
The rates listed here are for July 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025 policy year.
Remote has partnered with Oliva, the UK & Europe's #1 rated employee mental wellbeing platform. Oliva is available on desktop and as a mobile app and it includes:
Customers may elect to offer the mental health program benefits to their teams and can choose among 5 different plans. If one of the mental health benefit is offered, the employee will automatically be enrolled and you will be charged for it monthly. However, employees have the option to opt out of the benefit. If they choose to do so, they will be unenrolled and charges will stop effective from the next month.
It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, Mental Health benefits may be categorized as 'Benefits in Kind' (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums, which the company pays for the benefit, might be counted as part of the employee's taxable income according to the local tax laws.
Pricing and benefits are subject to change in response to business and market changes and we will update you when those changes take place.
