10 April 2016 Interest component is taxable only when the PF account is an unrecognised provident fund account. Otherwise it is not taxable. On retirement, an employee can withdraw the amount from his PF A/c and the amount withdrawn is not taxable. You may show it under the head exempt income.

10 April 2016 1.since PF withdrawn after retirement it is not taxable Under the Head salary
2. Interest on accumulated PF is not taxable.
3. Since PF is exempted income, you need not show in return. Since PF is already shown in deduction under chapter VI A in returns filed during service or in form 16.
