The CBDT, through circular No, 573 dated August 21, 1990, has clarified that a lump sum payment made gratuitously or by way of compensation or otherwise, to the widow or other legal heirs of an employee, who dies while still in active service, is not taxable as income under the Income-Tax Act, 1961.

Further, reliance can be placed on a decision of the Mumbai Tribunal in the case of ACIT vs late Shri Anil Bhatia. Thus, it may be inferred that such an amount shall not be taxable.

Thank You for the reply Sir.
