Armed force person died in an air crash while on duty, but not operational duty as specified u/s 10(19).His death has been termed as "attributable to service". Does his pension and OROP received by his wife are liable to income tax as no TDS deducted from bank while crediting OROP amount?

In my view, family pension received on the death of member of armed force on operational duties specified u/s 10(19) & u/r 2BBA is only exempt.
