EPF taxable interest computation for ITR FY 2022-23


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the confusion around declaring taxable EPF interest for FY 2022-23 in your Income Tax Return (ITR). The user noted taxable interest appearing in their passbook but not yet credited, nor was any TDS deducted. The advice given is to defer declaring this uncredited interest until the next financial year when it is actually credited. If needed, the ITR can be revised later.

23 July 2023 Hello,
In my EPF passbook statement I can see taxable interest (above 2.5L) for each month separately, for FY 2022-23. But the interest for FY 2022-23 has not yet been credited.
So, my query is:
1. While filing ITR for FY 2022-23, I should not consider the EPF interest in my taxable income as it has not yet been credited in my passbook. Instead, I should be considering it in the next FY, when it gets credited. Is this correct ?
2. Or am I expected to calculate the interest and pay tax on it on my own in this FY itself ? If so, how should I factor in TDS as part of the calculations ?
Thanks

23 July 2023 Check the TDS deducted in form 26AS and/or AIS report and take call.

23 July 2023 Sir, thanks for your quick response!
But neither is the interest credited for FY 2022-23 in my PF account nor has any TDS been deducted by PF department. I have cross checked this in my Form 26AS and AIS as well.
So, my query is, shall I defer paying tax on this interest till it gets credited to my account or shall I compute it on my own and pay it now itself ?

23 July 2023 Presently you differ the amount and file return as it is. Once it gets credited, you will have option to revise the ITR till 31.12.2023.
