Calculating SINDA Contributions

SINDA contributions must be paid by all Indian employees (except foreign workers) each month. The SINDA deduction is determined by the employees wages for the month and uses formula CPF FM SINDA CALC. Formula CPF FM SINDA CALC calculates SINDA using bracket CPF BR SINDA. Since this is a monthly contribution, the formula looks up the bracket and subtracts any month-to-date amount.

The employees ethnic category and citizenship status are returned from the personal data array CPF AR PERS DATA. The generation control CPF GC SINDA (using formula CPF FM SINDA GC) uses them to determine whether SINDA is applicable or not. If the employee's ethnic category is Indian, and their citizenship status is not foreign worker, the deduction is made.
