Hi,

A lady's husband died on 2013.

Her husband was a retired employee of a PSU Bank.

She too became retired on 2018 from her PSU bank.

She received family pension of around Rs 80,000 from 2013 onwards and she has not disclosed it in her tax returns.

From this year i.e. AY 2021-22, she received around Rs 1 lakh as family pension.

Should she start disclosing that income now since she is worried about it?

She is a senior citizen afterall having pension income and bank FD Interest as major source of income.

Will income tax official pick her file for scrutiny etc?
