Reimbursement Allowances
Reimbursement Allowances
Configure standing reimbursement allowances — fuel, telephone, meals — with caps, tax treatment, and auto-apply rules.
Certain components of salary are associated with reimbursements, where employees are required to submit supporting bills/proofs to claim them as non-taxable.
Monthly Submission: If the employee submits valid bills/proofs for the reimbursement allowance (e.g., telephone, fuel, medical), the approved amount will be treated as non-taxable in payroll. Any balance amount (if the bill is less than the allowance) will be treated as taxable for that month.
No Monthly Claim: If the employee does not submit any bills during the financial year, the entire reimbursement allowance will be paid out in the last payroll month of the financial year (March) and treated as fully taxable.
Partial Claim: If bills are submitted for some months but not others, only the unclaimed portion will be added to taxable salary during the payroll run.
