Hi, I have a client who is receiving Pension of his deceased wife. I am confused regarding it's taxability. Is this is what we call family pension as there is no direct employer employee relatioship ? Can he claim 33.3% of pension amount or Rs. 15000 whichever is lower as exemption or This amount is fully taxable under IFOS ? Kindly help. Thanks Regards CA Kamaldeep Singh.
