Hi !

Under what section of Income Tax Act 1961 is "Employee's provident fund " annual interest exempted ?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that the annual interest earned on an Employee's Provident Fund is exempted under Section 10(11) of the Income Tax Act 1961. It also touches upon Section 10(11A) for Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts and Section 10(12A) concerning recognised provident funds.

It is exempted under section 10(11).
please like my reply if you are satisfied, so that I will be motivated to answer more.
Section 10
Its section 10(11). 👍
I know that
ANNUAL INTEREST CREDITED IN ANY PROVIDENT FUND ACCOUNT IS EXEMPTED UNDER SEC 10 (11) .
SEC 10 (11 A) IS ALSO APPLICABLE AND SHALL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL INCOME OF THE ASSESSE. AS A RESULT THE INTEREST ACCRUING ON DEPOSITS IN AND WITHDRAWALS FROM THE ACCOUNTANT WOULD BE EXEMPTED.(SUKANYA SAMMRIDDHI ACCOUNT)
The accumulated balance due and becoming payable to an employee participating in a recognised provident fund is slow exempted sec 10 (12A)
Agree with above comment
Yes....
Thank you
