This discussion addresses how to declare 'Widow Pension' (Bidhoba Bhatta) received from the West Bengal government on an ITR-1 form. The user is seeking clarification on whether this social security payment should be reported under 'income from other sources' or as 'pension income' in the salary/pension head. The consensus is that it should be declared as 'income from other sources'.
