One of my client obtained Reverse Mortgage. He has received a lumpsum payment as well as he is getting monthly annuities from a Bank. I have treated in their tax return, income from annuities as tax free as it is only a loan receipt. Lumpsum paymnet recd also treated as Loan receipt and nothing was offered to tax. Whether my stand is correct. Kindly enlighten

The annuity amount is definitely a loan because it has to be repaid in future. You can say this a loan being received in installments. Your contention is correct. .
