31 January 2009 In my opinion your understanding of pension income as exempt is wrong, but pension Income is to be treated as salary income.

01 February 2009 If the army officer is a gallantry award holder (Ashok chakra, Kirti Chakra,Shaurya Chakra,etc., altogether 15nos)then the pension received is tax free u/s 10(18)(i) of The Income Tax Act,1961. This is with effect from 1/4/2000.
