TDS on Family Pension...??

Dear Nimisha,

TDS is not required on Family pension except where the person receiving the same is a Non resident in which case Sec 195 comes into play.

TDS shall be deducted on Regular/Ordinary Pension given to employee directly.

Reason is Family Pension is taxable under the head "Other sources" & is not an income under head "salaries" & sec 192 begins as follows -

Any person responsible for paying any income chargeable under the head “Salaries” shall, at the time of payment, deduct income-tax  [***] on the amount payable at the average rate of income-tax [***] computed

Dear Nimisha,

I have got one very good article written by Pranjal Sir -
