National Pension Scheme - Computation (Payroll)

Employer's Contributions towards NPS can be computed using a Payroll voucher, similar to that of a Provident Fund. Employee's NPS deductions will be calculated and accounted for in the Payroll voucher recorded for Salary.

As explained earlier in the Employer's NPS Contribution topic, this pay head can be created either on the basis of a User Defined Value / Flat Rate / As Computed Value.

To understand how to process Employer's NPS Contributions with these Calculation Types, let us consider three scenarios.

  1. with the Calculation Type - As Computed Value

  2. with the Calculation Type - User Defined Value

  3. with the Calculation Type - Flat Rate

To process Employer's contribution in a Payroll voucher, the option NPS Contribution has to be selected in the Process For field of the Payroll Auto fill sub-screen, irrespective of the Calculation Type.
