In Form 26 AS it appears that SBI is reporting Family Pension under Section 192 which is reserved for Salary income. (Recipient is the survivor of a Late. Govt of India employee. SBI Processes the family pensions for GOI)
However from Income Tax Department own site at https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/_layouts/15/dit/mobile/faqs/faq-questions.aspx?key=FAQs+on+Salary+Income&k= it clearly mentions that
Q: Is Family pension taxed as salary income?
A: No, it is taxable as income from other sources.
When we download the pre-filled XML from Income Tax Return site to prepare the ITR, it also picks this information as Salary Information.
If we manually correct it and move it in ITR to Income from Other Sources, it will likely create a mismatch in the computer scrutiny.
What is the right course of action in this case?
