Pension Vs family pension taxation

Yes, the differentiation is as per IT act.

Person getting both the pensions will also report it under  different heads.

Pension is taxed under salary head.

when pension is recd by pensioner it is salary income.

when pension is recd by his/her family member (dependent(s) after his/her death, it is family pension and it is income from other sources and not salary for the receiver.

Hope, logic is clear.
