  3. If your company policy for the respective allowance to be contributed to EPF, SOCSO, EIS & HRD, do tick the respective column.

  4. If the allowance is taxable, tick the TAX & PAY column.

  5. Number '3' under the EA column shows where the figure appears in the EA Form.

  6. Relief code is used for tax-exempt allowances.
