Zeta Optima platform allows you to initiate various employee tax benefit transfers, for example, instant distribution of fuel and travel reimbursements to all employees in one go. Ensure that you've set up a Optima fuel & travel card program and loaded your funding account prior to execute an employee transfer. In addition, make sure that you choose a correct company to initiate a new transfer through an active program if you've configured multiple legal companies under your organization.
Using Optima fuel & travel program, corporates may choose to provide conveyance allowances or reimbursement on fuel and travel expenses as per company policy and IT guidelines.
To Initiate a Fuel & Travel Card Transfer
Log into the Zeta Optima platform.
Locate the Company dropdown at the top left of the screen and choose a company under which you want to create a new fuel card transfer. This is an optional step if you only have a single legal company.
From "Zeta Optima" menu, go to Active Programs > Fuel Card program. This opens up the "Overview" tab, i.e., fuel card homepage.
Click New Transfer Order option to initiate a new fuel card transfer. This opens up the new transfer page. Note that the new transfer order option is available in all sub-tabs for quickly creating new transfers.
In the “New Transfer” screen, configure the following:

Initiate Transfer
