25 July 2013 Hello experts,

I am filling my pension details for the first time in ITR2. However I cannot understand the following. Your help will be appreciated.

1. Under which head will pension come in ITR2? Salary seems to be the only option.

2. What will be the employee category for a retired govt. employee getting pension? The comments (red pointer) on the sheet says 'select OTH if not in employment'. Shall I select GOVT or OTH, since I am no longer in government service?

3. Do I have to fill the employer name in the relevant boxes even though I am retired?

Thank you

25 July 2013 1) Pension Means nothing but salary so please fill the pension amount in the salary's column(option)

2) yes, you have to select OTHERS for employee category.

3) You need not to mention the name of the employer etc.... in case form requiring mandatory then fill the name of the department from where you getting pension.

Note: if you have only pension income i.e means you didn't have any business income or capital gain income then you shall file ITR-1. In such case ITR-1 sufficient and you didn't arises the above doubts you asked in such ITR-1.

Good Luck and proceed.
