Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of commuted pension for PSU employees. While commuted pension received by government employees is generally wholly exempt from tax under Section 10(10A), there's confusion on how to declare it in the Income Tax Return (ITR) when it's not shown in the exempt income column of Form 16. The thread aims to provide guidance on correctly reporting this exempt income.
Any commuted pension received bty a Govt. employee (Central, state, local authority and statutory corporation ) is wholly exempt from tax under section 10(10A). Likewise, the full commuted value of pension received by a govt. servant on his absorption in a public sector corporation is exempt. ( circular No. 286 dated 17/11/1980).
