09 April 2010Hi frnds... Can any one tell me when is the interest credited to Recognised PF account taxable in the hands of employee under other source income. Is it interest in excess of 8.5% or 9.5% for AY 10-11... A few books pronounce it as 8.5% while the others do 9.5%... please post your replies.....
