General
The Zeta Communications Card is a communications tax-saving benefit card, which virtually exists in your Zeta account. You can use Zeta Communications Card to avail your communication reimbursements. Zeta Communications Card helps you to pay for mobile, landline, data card and internet bills using Zeta app interface or Zeta on Web.
Your company should sign up with us and choose to offer Zeta Communications Reimbursements as an employee tax benefit. Your communications reimbursements are credited every month or as per your organisation, which you can access on Zeta app or Zeta on Web platform.
Your employer will credit your Zeta Communications Card during monthly payout.
Ensure that you have submitted valid phone number or email ID to your employer also ensure that your employer has updated the transfer order file. Visit Zeta support for more assistance.
The frequency of credits depends on the policy adopted by your company. Grants could be issued on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis.
Since your employer provides you the Zeta Communications credits against your email ID or phone number, ensure that your email ID or phone number is verified to get the Zeta Communications credits regularly.
You can opt for Zeta Communications Reimbursements any time in a year, provided your company policies allow it. Your reimbursements for the period will be calculated as per guidelines set by your organisation.
Note that all your reimbursement instruments get closed after every financial year end (effective 20th March'18) and the following settlements are done for any outstanding balance in your cards and the amount stuck in your holding account:
- Any remaining amount can either be transferred in full to your Cash Card and appropriate tax deductions can be made while processing payroll or the remaining amount could be recalled and credited as part of your payroll, after making appropriate deductions, as per your company's policy.
