Zeta Optima platform allows you to initiate various employee tax benefit transfers, for example, instant distribution of LTA cards to all employees in one go. Ensure that you've set up an Optima LTA reimbursement 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.
As per the new RBI mandate, it is mandatory for employer to validate any government issued valid ID of all employees receiving benefits from January 1st, 2018 and update the order file format for all PPIs to include the PAN/Aadhaar details of each employee. |
Click New Transfer Order option to initiate a new LTA 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.
