EPF


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) withdrawals. Generally, EPF withdrawals made after five years of continuous service are considered tax-free income. Even if Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) has been applied due to the amount exceeding Rs. 100,000, the withdrawal remains tax-free under the relevant sections. If TDS was deducted on a withdrawal made before five years of service, it should be shown under the 'salary' head in ITR 1.
