It captures HRA exemption details (rent paid, landlord PAN), LTA claims, home loan interest (Section 24B), and all Chapter VI-A deductions (80C, 80D, 80CCD, etc.). Zoho Payroll generates Form 12BB from the employee&#8217;s ESS declaration for employer records.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>What Form 12BB Covers<\/h2>\n<p>Form 12BB has four sections: House Rent (landlord name, address, PAN, and monthly rent for HRA exemption), Leave Travel Concession (journey details for LTA claim), Deduction under Section 24B (home loan interest with lender details), and Chapter VI-A deductions (amounts and investment details for 80C, 80CCD(1B), 80D, and other applicable sections). Employees complete all relevant sections based on their actual situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Form 12BB in Zoho Payroll Workflow<\/h2>\n<p>When an employee submits their investment declaration through the Zoho Payroll ESS portal, the system generates Form 12BB populated with the declared values. The employee downloads, signs, and submits it to HR. This form is retained by the employer as evidence for TDS deductions. During income tax audits, Form 12BB supports the employer&#8217;s TDS claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Mandatory PAN for Rent Exceeding Rs 1 Lakh<\/h2>\n<p>If annual rent exceeds Rs 1 lakh (Rs 8,333 per month), the employee must provide the landlord&#8217;s PAN in Form 12BB. If the landlord does not have a PAN, a declaration to that effect must be submitted. Zoho Payroll flags this requirement during the declaration process when entered rent exceeds the threshold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> An employee pays rent of Rs 15,000 per month in Pune. Form 12BB requires the landlord&#8217;s PAN since annual rent = Rs 1.8 lakh. The employee enters rent, landlord details, and PAN in the Zoho Payroll portal. Zoho Payroll generates Form 12BB, which the employee prints, signs, and submits to HR along with rent receipts.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/investment-declaration-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Investment Declaration<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/hra-house-rent-allowance-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">HRA<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/tds-on-salary-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">TDS on Salary<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/form-16-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Form 16<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Form 12BB in Zoho Payroll?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Form 12BB is the standardised declaration form employees submit to their employer to claim HRA exemption, LTA, home loan interest deduction, and Chapter VI-A deductions for TDS computation.
