This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A State Government employee received a Family Benefit Fund payment of Rs.30120 upon retirement and is unsure about its taxability. While the term isn't explicitly defined in the IT act, if this lump-sum payment is considered a statutory retirement benefit, similar to gratuity or PF, it is likely to be fully exempt from tax.
