Tax treatment of eps pension

Tax queries 178 views 2 replies
  1. I am a retired senior citizen and e-file Income Tax Return regularly.
  2. I am receiving EPS pension from EPFO due to my past service based on an earlier relationship of an agreement of service with my erstwhile employer.
  3. My erstwhile employer contributed to the EPFO pension fund while I was in service.
  4. My queries are :
  • Whether EPS pension can be declared under the head "Income from Salary".
  • If so, whether "Standard Deduction" will be applicable.
  • Since EPFO has not deducted at source, filling " Tax Details" page is necessary.

pension is covered under Salary head. Will be eligible for Standard Deduction
your pension will not be considered as salary and as such no standard deduction. your pension has to be shown under income from other sources
