Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a one-time contribution refund from the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) is considered taxable income. The consensus is that the refund is a return of a deposit and not income. However, since the refund appeared on the taxpayer's information sheet under salary, clarification is sought on how to report it to avoid potential queries or penalties from the tax department.

No, just give feedback that amount is not in nature of income.
In itr.....put in income not taxable column......
Same is refund of deposit not income. So no need to show anywhere
True madam ....it is not income....it is refund ...so not to show in itr anywhere
But said refund amount has been shown in Taxpayer Inormation sheet as a income under head salary if we reduce this amount than Dept may send notice for paying tax along with internet & fine
Just submit feedback in AIS that not in nature of income.

Even after I make a feedback Income not taxable and file ITR, the income tax department may raise the query and start penal treatment on me, how the same can be avoided. Kindly guide me.
