 (i) “Salary” includes basic and dearness allowance (if the terms of employment
so provide), but excludes all other allowances and perquisites.

occupied by the assesse during the previous year.
Deduction u/s 10 (13A) will be allowed in the Financial Year 2017–18 only up to the expiry of lease
period (proportionately) as per the lease agreement uploaded by you for the Financial Year 2017–18.

The employees are requested to send the copy of proper lease agreement on time. Please note that
delayed submission in subsequent months will not be accepted for retrospective claim from April 2017.

HRA exemption will not be given on the basis of plain rent receipt without signature on revenue stamps

Permanent Account Number (PAN):

It is mandatory to quote Income Tax Permanent Account Number (PAN) in TDS Certificate (Form No.
16) to be issued by the company. In view of this please verify your PAN (it should be 10 characters
without any space) in ESS and correct the same in case you find any error.
If you do not have a PAN, please apply for the same immediately through UTI Services or other TIN
facilitators which is the appointed agency by Income Tax authorities. Non furnishing of PAN will attract
higher rate of TDS and we will not be able to issue Form 16 for the respective Financial Year.
Application for PAN i.e. Form 49A is available in ESS under Income tax menu >Income Tax forms
download -> Form No. 49A.
Please note that from financial Year 2012-13 onwards the TDS certificate (Form 16 -PART A) is
generated by the Income Tax Department (TDS CPC).The Name and Address as appearing in the
form 16 is being captured form the ITD PAN Master as per PAN application data which was filed for
obtaining Permanent Account Number.

It is therefore suggested to maintain correct name and address in the PAN Data for avoiding mismatch
of details in future.

Copy of Form 16 or Provisional Form 16 or statement of Full and final settlement issued by the previous
employer(s) along with form 12B is to be uploaded in ESS to consider income from previous
employment in the case of those who have newly joined the organization.
