Questions and instructions

Literal question

If you or any member of the household take meals free of cost from employer, then how many such meals do you take in a day?

Interviewer instructions

Sometimes meals are provided by the employer. These may be as perquisites or as part of wages in kind. These meals are generally consumed at the place of work and are to be considered as meals taken away from home. It may not be rare that meals provided by the employer are brought home by the employees and consumed there. Such meals are also to be considered as meals taken away from home.
