Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of Provident Fund (PF) withdrawals made before completing five years of service. Generally, such withdrawals are taxable under the Income from Other Sources, with specific exemptions for situations like ill health, business discontinuation, or other unavoidable circumstances. The thread also touches upon why different components of the PF withdrawal might be taxed under different heads.

It is fully taxable.

It is fully taxable u/h. IFOS.

But not taxable if  employment is terminated due to employee’s ill health\The business of the employer is discontinued\the reasons for withdrawal are beyond the employee’s control.

employee is exit from office due to software project completed. But software company is running.

Now in this situation taxable or not

One more doubt

If it is taxable, why it is not taxable under the head salaries.

 

 

Bcoz, it's investment.

EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION = INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCE

EMPLOYEE'S SHARE = INCOME FROM SALARY

PF INTEREST = INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCE
