Gratuity fund withdrawal from LIC
This query is : Resolved
14 February 2025
Dear Experts,
ABC Pvt. Ltd. (Company) has setup Gratuity Trust in FY 2016-17 and started gratuity investment with LIC. At that time, LIC informed to Company that they just need to intimate Income Tax department and don’t need any other approval.
Company has further started another manufacturing plant Gratuity Trust investment with another private Company.
So, in current situation, Company has Gratuity Trust Deed & PAN, but don’t have any approval of Income Tax Department. They just have intimated to Income tax department in FY 2016-17
Now in FY 2024-25, Company wants to switch to other Company by way of withdrawing funds from LIC, because of higher interest rate and other benefits.
Now for withdrawal of fund from LIC, LIC is asking for permission of income tax department. My questions are:
1. What is the process to obtain permission from the Income Tax Department for withdrawing funds from LIC?
2. What will be tax implication on withdrawal of funds from LIC?
3. Since the company only intimated the Income Tax Department in FY 2016-17 and did not obtain approval, does the existing Gratuity Trust qualify as an "Approved Gratuity Trust" under the Income Tax Act, 1961?
4. Are there any potential penalties, interest, or disallowances under the Income Tax Act due to the lack of prior approval for the gratuity trust investment?
5. Will the withdrawal and transfer of gratuity funds impact the tax treatment of past gratuity contributions made by the company?
Your guidance needed.
Regards,
Sandip
