I support the views of Sh.Himanshu Sha, an expert. I add that otherwise also canteen facility is not in course or furtherance of business of automobile.

It is advisable that you distribute meal pass to your employee like Sodexo/Ticket and your canteen must accept that, it could help overall for your company in the view point of taxation.
