18 December 2020 An individual gets PF withdrawn amount of Rs. 70000. TDS deducted u/s 192 @ 10%. There is no breakup of employer and employee contribution so he is reporting the entire amount as taxable.

While filing Income Tax Return, income reported under salary. The form is deducting standard deduction of Rs. 50,000 from it. Whether this will be applicable in his case?
