The present article provides the understanding for both the exemption section i.e., section 10(11) and section 10(12). Understanding the Statutory Provident Fund and Recognized Provident Fund– The primary purpose of the provident fund is that it facilitates the employees with the lump sum amount, at the time of his exit from the place of employment. Broadly speaking, the provident funds can be divided into four types, namely Statutory Provident Fund; Recognized Provident Fund; Unrecognized Provident Fund; and Public Provident Fund. Since section 10(11) and section 10(12) provides exemption towards the Statutory Provident Fund and Recognized Provident Fund, we would hereunder understand some of the general basics of the same. Ads by ADVERTISEMENT Ads by The Government; Governmental bodies; railways; local authorities etc. maintains the Statutory Provident Fund. The Provident Fund Act, 1925 is applicable to the Statutory Provident Fund. On the other hand, any establishment or business entity having 20 or more employees can join the Recognized Provident Fund. The establishment/ business entity can themselves create the scheme under the Recognized Provident Fund and manage the same. However, all the Recognized Provident Fund schemes are mandatorily required to be approved by the Commissioner of Income Tax. Exemption available under section 10(11) of the Income Tax Act– Provisions of section 10(11) fully exempt the amount received from the Statutory Provident Fund. It also fully exempts the amount received from any other provident fund, which is set up and notified by the Central Government. Advertisement Exemption available under section 10(12) of the Income Tax Act– Provisions of section 10(12) exempt the accumulated balance, due and payable, to the employee participating in the Recognized Provident Fund. The exemption is available to the extent covered in Rule 8 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule. As per rule 8 of part A of the fourth schedule, accumulated balance payable to an employee covered in a Recognized Provident Fund shall be exempted only under any of the following cases- The employee has provided continuous service, with his employer, for a period of 5 years or more. In case the service of the employee is terminated before the period of 5 years, the reason for termination should be any of the following- Termination of service due to Employee’s ill-health; or Termination of service by the contraction; or Termination of service due to discontinuation of employer’s business; or Termination of service due to any reason which is beyond the control of the employee. In case of cessation of employment, the employee takes employment with any other employer, then, the accumulated balance (due and payable) to the employee is transferred to his individual account in any Recognized Provident Fund managed by such other employee

@ Kiran ,
.How much is the amount?

And how many years of continuous service completed?

I think you already replied , now what happened

The queriest has not given details about his employment. If above 5 years fully exempt

Earlier you replied some other provision.

Might be this .

As per the Budget of 2016-17 and the Finance Act, 2016 the threshold of Provident Fund withdrawals was raised from 30,000 to Rs. 50,000 for Tax Deducted at Source amended under section 192A of Income Tax Act, 1961. TDS is applicable on withdrawals wherein the accumulated balance is more than 50,000 and the Employee has worked for less than five years.

This new amendment is a discouragement for premature withdrawals from Provident Funds and a leap towards promoting long-term savings. These long-term savings ultimately mean more money for you at the end of your work term.

As per the provisions of the TDS Act, the rate of deduction is 10 percent on the submission of the Permanent Account Number (PAN).

Yes query is about tax on of withdrawal , you are providing limits for TDS, that what I want to say. Before discussing get clear on provision

The queriest has to give the details. Let him reply then we get to know from where we need to start

He already told he withdraw amount, so same is taxable or not . But wait for querist

Check my first answer .

It depends on various factors like how much is GTI .

If no taxable income during the year in which PF is withdrawn then PF upto 5lacs is exempt after rebate So that's why I have sought a response from queriest
