Taxability of family pension

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

Family pensions are taxable under 'income from other sources'. The key question is whether to declare it on a receipt or due basis. This depends on your regular accounting method. If you use the mercantile system, it's taxed on the due basis, while the cash system means it's taxed on receipt. You can also claim a deduction of Rs. 15,000 or one-third of the pension received, whichever is less.

17 April 2020 Family pension is to be computed in accordance with the method of accounting regularly employed by you. Hence, if you followed mercantile system in earlier year's , then income will be computed on due basis in rest of the year's.. If you followed cash system in earlier year's, then family pension should be computed on receipt basis in the next following year's.
