SIR, AS A KIND PERSUAL PL. SORT OUT MY MATTER. SIR, SHOULD I GET BACK THAT AMOUNT ?

PF is governed with 80C provisions, where 5 years lock in ( to be precise, 4 years +240 days) is maintained, prematured termination of pf is added back to the income of the year of withdrawl, so TDS is deducted. you are set free to add the gross amount in your taxable income and claim the TDS deducted.

THERE IS NO SECTION 80C IMPACT IN CASE OF PF. SECTION 80C(5) AND SECTION 80C(6A) IS SILENT IN THIS REGARD. PAYMENT FROM PF IS GOVERNED BT SECTION 10(12)[WHICH DEALS WITH RPF WHICH IS THE CASE HERE] AS PER SECTION 10(12) the accumulated balance due and becoming payable to an employee participating in a recognised provident fund IS EXEMPT to the extent provided in rule 8 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule RULE 8 REFEREED TO ABOVE LAYS DOWN CERTAIN CONDITIONS FOR EXEMPTION. THE FIRST ONE IS THAT THE EMPLOYEE SHLD HAVE SERVED FOR CONTIMUOUS PERIOD OF FIVE YAERS IN THIS CASE THE QUERIST HAS LEFT THE JOB AFTER ONE YEAR OR SO HENCE NO EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 10(12) WILL BE ALLOWED. THE SUM RECEIVED IS TAXABLE. AS PER RULE 9 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule THE INCOME OF ALL THE YEARS WILL BE RECOMPUTED AS IF THE FUND IS NOT RECOGNISED TAX ON INCOME SO RECOMPUTED WILL BE DETERMINED AND SUM OVER AND ABOVE TAX ALREADY PAID BY ASSESSEE WILL BE REDUCED FROM THE TAX SO DETERMINED AND BALANCE WILL BE PAYABLE
