To fill up ITR-1 for 2018-19, one is required to input salary (excluding all allowances,perquisites and profits in lieu of salary) and allowances not exempt seperately.
I am a government pensioner and my pension amount is total of two elements viz, basic pension and dearness relief .Techically it is called so, not dearness allowance. However, there is no difference between the two, dearness allowance and dearness relief. It is dearness allowance for serving officers and dearness relief for pensioners.
Should I segregate the two and input basic pension against salary and dearness relief against allowances or put the total amount against salary and nil against allowances.
Kindly clarify.
