Do we include ppf int in gross total income?

Interest on PPF is exempted under  Sec 10(11). Need not to show in Gross total income

I agree with neelam ... Interest obtained from PPF is tax free ... So you don't have to show it

I thought so all along. But Taxsmile e-filing portal thought differently. They did not respond to my question as to why they were doing so. I sought confirmation from Income Tax Department. They too confirmed the same. So I sent documentation to Taxsmile. They are probaly thinking about the whole thing hence not replying. The matter closes from my side. Now Taxsmile paid efiling portal has to do what they want to do or not want to do.
