When pension plans mature, irrespective of whether they are unit-linked or not, only 1/3rd of the maturity amount is given to the investor as a lump sum. This lump sum amount is tax-free.
The balance 2/3rd is converted to an annuity and one starts to get regular pension from this corpus post maturity. The pension thus received, is treated as income and is taxed as per your applicable tax slab.
