When you need it

Your employer asks every year what rent, home-loan interest, travel allowance and tax-saving investments you will claim, so it deducts the right tax from your salary. This letter gives those particulars in your own words and says you will hand over the proofs.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

INVESTMENT AND TAX-CLAIM DECLARATION TO THE EMPLOYER (KNOWN AS FORM 12BB)

Date: 1 April 2026. To: Tricity Software Pvt Ltd.

I, Simran Arora, holding PAN ABCDE1234F, employee code EMP-4471, give you these particulars for the financial year 2026-27 so that you may work out the tax to deduct from my salary. I have chosen the tax regime that allows deductions and exemptions, and I expect to claim the items below.

Rent I will pay in the year: ₹2,40,000 (Rupees Two Lakh Forty Thousand only). Landlord: Rajinder Kumar. Landlord's PAN: ABCDE1234F. Home-loan interest I will pay in the year: ₹1,50,000 (Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand only). Lender: Punjab National Bank. Leave or home travel expense: ₹30,000 (Rupees Thirty Thousand only).

Tax-saving investments I will make in the year: ₹1,50,000 (Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand only). They are: PPF, life insurance premium, children's tuition fee. Health insurance and pension contributions: ₹50,000 (Rupees Fifty Thousand only). Donations: ₹10,000 (Rupees Ten Thousand only). Other claims: Interest on education loan: 40,000

I will give you the supporting proofs when you ask for them, by the date you set. I understand that you will deduct tax on the basis of these particulars, and that I am responsible for them being correct. If a claim proves wrong or does not go ahead, I will tell you.

This is my own declaration written in my own words. It is not a copy of any prescribed form, and your payroll system or portal may require the prescribed form in its own layout, which I will then fill in and sign. The particulars above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
