Yes, if his aggregate income exceeds basic exemption limit...

Will this hold true if he has no other income for that fy and he didn't file returns in previous periods after his employment in India ended.?
@ honourable dhirajlal sir , section 80 ccc vs 80 cc'd deductions diffence could you please tell me
Hi, Ridhima, if in the year of receipt of pf withdrawal his income exceeds the basic exemption limit as per slabs then he have to file the ITR

PF withdrawal is taxable when his/her employment was less than 5 years.

Filing return after leaving employment has no connection with the taxability of the EPF withdrawal.

If aggregate income in any assessment year does not exceed the basic exemption limit, ITR filing is not mandatory. Otherwise, he/she is liable for consequences for not filing return in that particular AY.

If tds got deducted the file the i.t.r and get it refund....even if income is below 2.5lac

The provisions of Section 80CCC are specifically applicable to those insurance providers in India that offer annuity or pension plans. The insurer could be a public entity or a private entity as well.

The deduction under 80CCC is part of the overall deduction under section 80C. The deduction under this section is clubbed under the deduction of 80C and 80CCD, hence total deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh is available.

Section 80 CCD (1B) gives an additional deduction of Rs.50,000 on their NPS contributions.

Section 80 CCD(2) provides that employees can claim a deduction on the NPS contribution of up to 10% of salary (14% of salary for Central Government) made by the employer.
