But are you feeling clueless about moving to a new city for the job? As you start packing your things for the move, you should know about the relocation allowance. A relocation allowance offers financial support that your employers provide to take care of the cost of an employee moving to another place for the job. As the name suggests, the purpose of relocation allowance is to ease the financial burden during the shift. So, when you are moving, the employer can cover the expenses of temporary housing, travel costs, and shifting your personal belongings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This not only covers your relocation costs, but it also helps you with income tax. If you are moving out for your job, you should know about relocation benefits and how the allowance can help you with tax exemptions.

It is an exciting move, but your next thought would be packing your home, finding a place to stay, and managing the expenses incurred for the shift. This is where relocation allowance comes to the rescue!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relocation allowance is the amount your employer provides to cover the cost of moving for work. Instead of paying out of your pocket, you will receive financial assistance to manage the moving charges, including shifting household items, travel, temporary accommodation, or setting up your new home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/new-gas-connection\/\">How To Get A New Gas Connection: Online And Offline Modes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Relocation_Benefits_Provided_by_the_Employer\"><\/span><b>Types of Relocation Benefits Provided by the Employer<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, employers follow four types of relocation reimbursements. However, you should know that relocation allowance and relocation bonus are two different things. Below, we mention different types of moving allowances:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Lump Sum Allowance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one offers a large amount that you can spend on transfer expenses. You can use it whenever it&#8217;s convenient for you, but the amount is highly unlikely to cover all the expenses incurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Direct Payment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Here, the employer directly pays for the vendors, travel companies, or hotels. This saves you paying from your pocket; however, you will have less flexibility over the stay and transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Hybrid Allowance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a blend of lump sum and direct payment. Generally, the employer covers house relocation allowance or travel expenses in this way. So, you can choose your flight or hotel and have little control over the shift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Reimbursement Model: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the employee pays for the relocation. Then the employer reimburses the actual expenses incurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relocation_Allowance_vs_Relocation_Benefits\"><\/span><b>Relocation Allowance vs Relocation Benefits:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Basis<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Relocation Allowance<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Relocation Benefits<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Meaning<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You receive a fixed amount of money from your employer to manage relocation expenses on your own.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You receive direct services or reimbursements arranged or approved by the employer.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Payment Type<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paid as a lump sum or in parts along with salary.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provided as services, reimbursements, or company-paid arrangements.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Flexibility<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can decide how to spend the amount based on your needs.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must use the services or options offered by the company.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Coverage<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You cover packing, moving, travel, and stay within the given amount.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Includes packers and movers, travel bookings, temporary stay, and other support.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Expense Control<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You manage costs and save extra money if expenses are lower.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs are managed by the company or its service partners.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Documentation<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited or no bills may be required, depending on company policy.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bills and approvals are usually required for reimbursement.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Best For<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees who prefer control and flexibility.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees who want a guided and hassle-free relocation.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/transit-insurance\/\">What is Transit Insurance?

Once you know the ins and outs of getting reimbursed for the employee relocation expenses, you can experience a smooth transition. Let&#8217;s take a look below!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Employee_Eligibility_Criteria\"><\/span><b>Employee Eligibility Criteria<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your designation at work is the first thing that matters. If you are a high-level employee or someone with a critical role, you are likely to get reimbursed for relocation expenses. Besides your position, eligibility criteria also depend on why you are transferring&#8211; it might be a promotion or accepting a new position within the company. Plus, some companies require employees to work for a certain tenure to get the benefits of a relocation package. Meanwhile, you need to keep the distance in mind while applying for moving allowances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_Required_for_Relocation_Packages\"><\/span><b>Documents Required for Relocation Packages<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the relocation process and its reimbursement, you need to submit a few basic documents. You need to submit the receipts and invoices along with the estimates for travelling and accommodation. Once your employer reviews the submitted documents, you need to make sure they comply with the company policy and allowance criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the policy, the employee receives the relocation expense. Sometimes, a direct payment is made before the move. Or you might receive it after submitting your invoices. If tax exemptions are allowed, employees need to furnish tax-related documents for the relocation packages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/car-transport-by-train\/\">How to Move Car by Train: Booking Process, Documents &amp; Charges<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Calculate_Tax_on_Relocation_Allowance_in_India\"><\/span><b>How to Calculate Tax on Relocation Allowance in India<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the tax implications of relocation allowance helps you dodge nasty surprises while filing your income tax returns.

The lump-sum allowance comes from a part of the salary, which means it falls under tax implications. If you pay for your relocation, there is no relocation allowance exemption for tax in this case.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Make_a_List_of_Relocation_Expenses\"><\/span><b>2.
