4 CONFIDENTIAL What's New in Implementing Income Tax Declaration for India in Employee Central
2 Introduction

The purpose of this handbook is to allow you to configure your system for the Income Tax (IT) Declarations
function, and to configure the ODATA API in order to facilitate integration between Employee Central and a third
party payroll system.

The Income Tax Act of India allows you to calculate the gross total income of an individual after considering income
of all types, including investments, from which certain deductions may be made. These deductions must be
distinguished from the exemptions detailed in Section 10 of the Act. While deductions are to be subtracted from
the gross total income, the exemptions do not form part of the income at all.

The IT Declarations function allows employees to declare their proposed investments at the following times:

● Beginning of the financial year

● Upon joining the company
● Upon changing their declarations of proposed or actual contributions

Employees can also formulate proposal and actuals submissions using the deduction types or exemptions. They
can also submit their Actuals for final verification along with off-line copies of tax documents.

The IT Declaration function allows those in the role of Approver to verify off-line copies of tax documents, as
well the ability to approve or reject the documents.

3.4 Configuring the Window Period for Actuals Creation

Context

Procedure

5. Coose Save.

 Example

3.5.1 Variant

Procedure

Implementing Income Tax Declaration for India in Employee Central

14 CONFIDENTIAL Setting up Income Tax Declarations
  Example

The Year Shift value shown above relates to the Indian fiscal year, and how it overlaps with the calendar year.
The Indian fiscal year runs from April to March, so the final three months (periods) of the fiscal year are in a
different calendar year to the other 9.

Therefore, these three periods, 10, 11 and 12 are given a year shift value of -1. This means that they are assigned
to the previous year for fiscal reporting purposes.

Periods 1-9 are given a Year Shift Value of 0, as they do not need to be changed.

 Note

The fiscal year variant is not restricted to 12 months in every case. The variant is based on a country's legal
requirements, so you can update quarterly periods of three months in the configuration for certain
countries. In the case of India, you must update the variant for 12 month periods.
