API: Tax Declaration API Enhancements – Housing & Other Income Details

We have enhanced the Tax Declaration APIs to support additional data related to Housing Details and Income from Other Sources. These updates help integrators fetch and submit a more complete set of tax declaration inputs required for accurate payroll tax calculations.

What’s New

1. Read Tax Declaration API Enhancement
The existing API now returns additional information including:

• Rented residence details for HRA claims
• Owned house property details for home loan interest deductions
• Income from other sources
• TDS/TCS outside salary

This provides a more comprehensive view of an employee’s tax declaration.

2. New APIs for Housing Details
Two new APIs have been introduced to support housing declarations:

• Add Rented Residence Details
  Allows submission of rental property details including rent paid, landlord information, and supporting documents for HRA claims.
• Add Owned Residence Details
  Enables employees to declare owned property details including occupancy type, home loan interest, lender information, and supporting documents.

3. Support for Income from Other Sources and TDS/TCS
Employees can now declare:

• Interest income
• Commission income
• Professional or freelance income
• TDS deducted on other income
• TCS collected on high-value transactions

Attachments can also be included as supporting documentation.

Impact

These enhancements allow integrators to retrieve and submit all required tax declaration data through APIs, ensuring more accurate tax calculations and a complete employee tax profile within payroll systems.
