Sodexo Food Coupons an unwanted company in India
Sodexo ( foreign MNC ) Food Coupons are given to employees. It is optional facility. Employees prefer them because it gives tax exemption( a rule created for companies like this). Read about the tax clause below this post. Let us see the disadvantages. Sodexo is now given even for LIC, RBI ! Source: Rajya Sabha The coupons have validity. I am careless and will forget to use it before the validity period. The shop keepers won't give balance Not all shops accept Sodexo coupons. The shops which accept the Sodexo coupons might charge more usually. eg. 10 kg Double Horse rice costs Rs.339 (MRP Price) , you could get for reduced price from Triveni or Margin Free shops but Sodexho is not accepted in these shops. I tend to treat it different from money and is likely to spend more that I need if I have the coupons that money. There is no consumer relationship between me and Sodexo , eg. If Relaince/More/Spencers/Big Bazaar stop accepting this I don't have a choice to sue them
