Benefits in India

[Former Member]

Hi all,

For a client in India, we need to configure Health Insurance plan. For this plan, employee can choose to increase the coverage by paying a premium. Also client would need Miscellaneous plans to be configured. Client is hell bent upon using standard SAP with no/min customization.

My questions:

1. Can we use the Benefits module provided by SAP for this? I heard that this module is best designed for US/Canada/UK. How much of this can we use for India based on the above requirements?

2. Does Claims by employees come under Benefits?

3. What things to look out for in terms of customization?

4. Would the Benefits module be integrated with India PY?

Any thoughts around this would help.

Regards

Pramod

There is a standard way of handling group insurance etc, kindly check for the Membership fees node . The Benifits module cannot be integrated

Hi,

Benifit concept is basically for US payroll and for INDIA its not applicible. If you want to configure Health Insurance plan type for india go with payroll - payrol india - RAP nodes and runpc00_m40_repm for claims As per my knowledge but IT 0015 to be maintained

And ink to IT 0589

This is my opinion so kindly wait for expert veiw

Thanks

In India we dont implement Benefits Module, but I think your requirement is it related ti Income Tax exemption Section 80 D or Section 80 C Deductions

No. The PF, Gratuity etc kind of benefits are well designed in the standard SAP solution for India. This scenario is more like a Insurance plan offered in the US..usage of IT0168 et al..

Benefits Module is no way related in Indian Payroll.
