You should contact HDFC bank directly for this food card. The other option is to go for Sodexo meal coupons. Tax saving is there on sodexo and this is used by all major corporates like TATA and Reliance. HDFC food card is used less as compared to sodexo coupons.
In addition to Sodexo, a large number of corporates use Accor Coupons which is also called as Ticket Restaurant Coupons. This too is exempt from Income Tax of India.
