Company gets the contract labours from a manpower supply agency. The agency charges the company for supply of labour. The agreement between contractor and company may include the food and transport allowance. Hence food and transport facility provided to contract Labour is not subject to GST.

However the service of manpower supply by the contractor will attract GST. If he is registered then he will charge tax on invoice otherwise the tax is liable to be paid by company under reverse charge. But the provision of reverse on inward supply from unregistered dealer is suspended tilp 31.03.2017.

Section 15(2) of CGST Act shall be referred to for valuation of supply. Any expense which recipient incurs but needs to be incurred by supplier forms part of supply liable to GST.
