ℹ This is an information note which summarizes of the changes that have been announced in Union Budget 2012-2013.

Section 80TTA – It is proposed to allow Individual tax payers, a deduction of up to INR 10000 on interest from savings bank accounts.

Section 80D – It is proposed to amend this section to also include any payment made by an assessee on account of preventive health check-up of self, spouse, dependent children or parents(s) during the previous year as eligible for deduction within the overall limits prescribed in the section. However, the proposed deduction on account of expenditure on preventive health check-up (for self, spouse, dependent children and parents) shall not exceed in the aggregate INR 5,000.

ℹ You have maintained Provident Fund and Pension contribution details (IT0587) for employees working in your organization. However on executing payroll (TCode : PC00_M40_CALC_SIMU), PF or pension account number is not getting updated into the Provident Fund cluster table (EPF).

Consider an employee with Provident Fund and Pension contribution details (IT0587) maintained. On executing payroll for this employee, PF account number is not getting updated in the Provident Fund Cluster table (EPF)

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ Currently, if you have activated Multiple Form 16 functionality in SAP system (Reference SAP Note: 500871) and, during year end, if you generate

Form 16 for an employee who is transferred across company codes (or across TAN numbers) during the financial year, the system reports latest payroll

results on Form 16, even if retrospective results are present for this employee.

However, there is no option such that the system can report original payroll results on Form 16, if required.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ You are executing Form 16 (TCode:PC00_M40_F16) for the employees working in your organization.

On execution, value of perquisites on Form 12BA are displayed consistently.

However, the amount displayed on page 1 under head – ‘Details of salary paid and tax deducted’ and “Annexure to Form 16” are getting displayed

inconsistently.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ Currently, in the Advanced Claims application the attachment’s are stored in the Cluster. If the attachments are of huge size then more data base space will be consumed on the ECC Server.

To resolve this issue, there is now the provision of a BAdI made available so that attachments can be stored in any third party server.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ As per notification TN/CBE/EDP/2011 dated July 22, 2011 released by EPFO office, a new application software has been provided to submit EPF returns to government authorities. Henceforth, returns like Form 5, Form 10, Form 12A etc submitted to EPFO office should have the softcopy attached with it.

This note is being released to address some of the Frequently asked questions about the solution released.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ You have deleted or reversed a posting run in transaction PCP0, and the status of the run is displayed as deleted or reversed. The program terminates during the recreation of the posting run for the affected payroll period.

❗ There is a program error. The table PCALAC is deleted for the first personnel number of a posting run only.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ Professional tax deduction(s) for every region happens as per the state government rules. These rules differ from one region to another. These regions are maintained in the system as region codes. Region codes previously maintained for India in SAP system were not defined by the government as there were no such guidelines. However, government has now introduced region codes for each of these regions based on their geographical location.

However, existing region codes cannot be modified with the new region codes as professional tax calculations will then become inconsistent. New region codes needs to be maintained so that all India specific functionalities as well as other functionalities work consistently.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ You are executing payroll (TCode:PC00_M40_CALC_SIMU) for the employees working in your organization eligible for Professional tax deductions (IT0588 subtype 0003 maintained).

In case employee is seperated from the organization, Ptax deduction already happened for the employee/s during previous payroll runs is getting refunded back to the employee. This inconsistency is occuring in case there is a retrospective payroll run trigerred for the employee from previous periods.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ You are executing the payroll (TCode:PC00_M40_CALC) for an employee.

On execution it is observed that AFY (Alternate Financial Year) switch is active by default, hence the annual wagetype values are appearing before the end of financial year.

❗ The issue is reported in release ECC 604 only.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ You are generating Form 16 report from the link ‘Benefits and Payments section’ under Employee Self Service (ESS) on front end portal.

However for employees who are having a valid TAN number maintained in IT0185, Form 16 is not getting generated.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ You have created a loan request from Employee Self Service (ESS).

The request appears in approver’s UWL. However, when the approver for the same request is changed from output of report

HINULOAN_REPAY_UPDATE_REQ the action item still appears in approver’s UWL task.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

ℹ   You are using ESS (Employee Self Service) scenario for Section 80 (Infotype 0585) and Section 80C deductions(Infotype 0586).

When you try to create a new record for Section 80 and Section 80C deductions on ESS screen by clicking on new button, a dump appears on the

screen.
