Washing Allowance As Per Factory Act & State's Shops & Establishment Act

Dear HR's,
As per government policy, once again washing allowance has been increased by 25%, which comes to Rs.75 per month.
I want to know following:
i. Maximum limit for Washing allowance
ii. Does this applied to Factory Act & State's Shops & Establishments Act, 1948
iii. Is it taxable or non - taxable.

This is a notification of 2008 and not new
This is applicable only to Central Govt s[ecified categories and not for any industrial establishments
There is no law in India specifying minimum washing allowance
