1. The amount of commutation of pension is being received from a fund. The income of the fund is exempt under section 10(23AAB).
2. The option of 100% commutation was allowed by the fund referred here in above at the time of issuance of the policy.
3. Section10(10A) is the relevant section dealing with the commutation of pension and taxability of commuted pension.
4. Clause (iii) of sub section (10A) of Section 10 specifically exempts any payment in commutation of pension of pension received from a fund under clause (23AAB) of Section 10. 5. Hence in my opinion the full commutation value, which is being paid by the fund mentioned in para (4) above, is not taxable in the hands of the recipient. 6. Further, Section 10(10D) makes any sum received under a life insurance policy exempt except certain exceptions. The receipt in question is also not covered by the exceptions. Hence the amount received under the life insurance policy is exempt.
