    Let \(i:Y \to X\) be an embedding of real compact odd dimensional manifolds. The purpose of this paper is to establish a formula mod\((\mathbb{Z})\) expressing the difference of certain eta invariants over \(X\) as the sum of an eta invariant over \(Y\) and of integrals over \(X\) and \(Y\) of Chern-Simons currents.
