Hello Experts. Kindly guide me about the following topic.
Mrs. A was working in Reliance Communications Ltd. She received surplus amount of employee provident fund after retirement. Is such receipt taxable or not?
In the above case of Mrs A the Company i.e. Reliance Comu. ltd has deducted TDS u/s 192 on payment of EPF. So now should i take Income of EPF in her ITR as Exempt income ? And if yes then please guide me under which section ?

TDS not applicable on final settlement of PF. You are saying it as surplus amount, if it is paid over and above the amount available in her PF account then it may be treated as salary and tax paid on it.
