10 May 2019 Sir,
For Resident and ordinarily resident person receiving pension received abroad (for services rendered outside India) in the first instance and thereafter remitted to India, will this Income be exempt from tax in India by applying Point No 1 of circular No 4 dated 20-02-1969? Though Point No 3 of the same circular states that it will be chargeable for ROR, are there any case laws supporting non taxability of such pension for ROR?

11 May 2019 No case law supporting non taxability. Taxable as per point No 3.
