I have recently received gross pension in my bank account. Its above seven lacs. My bank have already deducted a tax on it above Rs. 56000/-. I transfered it to my other bank account after they deducted that tax. Now my bank manager says I have to deposit Rs. 1Lac fdr for no futhur tax deduction in that account which doesnt have any balance. Things I want to know are:

# how much tax liability is on it?

#Is bank even allowed to deduct the tax before me submitting it in my return and depositing the tax?

#How to go about it?

Thanks in advance.

Sir if you are Government employee than Commuted pension is exempt from tax.

otherwise if you are Non-Govt. Employees then:

i) Where the employee receives gratuity - 1/3rd of the pension, which is normally entitled to receive, is exempt

ii) In other cases : 1/2 of the pension, which is normally entitled to receive, is exempt.

Tax will be calculated on Taxable Pension including other income(if any).
