Quick Summary
In India, when you receive a superannuation fund payout, 35% of the total amount is considered taxable income. This portion is taxed under 'Income from other sources' at your applicable income tax slab rate. The remaining 65% of the corpus is generally tax-free. This rule applies to superannuation funds that are not specifically exempt, such as the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF).

That's correct. According to Indian tax laws, when a superannuation fund payout is received, 35%of the corpus (amount received) is taxable as income. This is considered as "Income from other sources" and is subject to tax at the receipient's slab rate. 

Here's a breakdown:
