It offers a strong value proposition to both employers as well as employees.  The Benefits Card and Zeta app enhances user experience as it places convenience and flexibility in the hands of the employee, while enabling employers to digitally review and manage reimbursements.”

Ramki Gaddipati, CTO and Co-founder, Zeta, said, “We are very happy to partner with IDFC Bank. Now together, we can take employee benefits to the next level by offering state-of-the-art digitizedmo tax benefits to the bank’s customers. This partnership is forged at a time just when Zeta is foraying into cutting-edge banking tech solutions, and we look forward to reaching lakhs of salaried professionals across industries with the digital program.”

Gaddipati indicates that the IDFC Bank Benefits Card, powered by Zeta, completely eliminates year-end paperwork related to claiming of tax benefits, as employee expenses are recorded and segregated digitally. Besides, he says, being convenient for employers and employees, it minimizes processing costs. It also enables employers to analyze digital records of reimbursements and discover usage patterns.

While the solution is being initially launched as an integrated Benefits Card for medical, meal, LTA and fuel reimbursements, it can be extended to other categories of allowances as well.
