Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment for a widow receiving a monthly pension from her late SG employee husband. It explains that a regular monthly pension is considered a family pension, not a commuted pension. A deduction of one-third of the income or £15,000 (whichever is less) is allowed, making the remaining amount taxable.

In the case of family pension, one-third of such income or Rs 15,000, whichever is less, is allowed as a deduction. For example, if a family member receives a pension of Rs 50,000, the exemption available is Rs 15,000 or Rs 16,660 (1/3rd of Rs 50,000), whichever is less. Therefore, the taxable family pension will be Rs 50,000 - Rs 15,000 = Rs 35,000.

@ dhiraj sir....she rcvd around 6lacs p.a(monthky 50k)....isnt that called commuted pension and consider it as exempt??

No, it is paid regularly every month, so family pension.
