Assuming that the pension received is Commuted
1. In case of government employee - fully exempt
2 . In case of non government employee - It is subject to exemption
All the Pension related income is to be charged to Tax under Income from salary.

My dear Rakesh,
Here, the Pension is being received from (a) Regional Provident Fund Commissioner under 'Employees Pension Scheme' and (b) LICI under Pension Scheme. Incase, it is received from past Employer, it could be shown under "SALARY" and accordingly it could be filled up in ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3 and ITR 4 giving the Employer's name, address etc.
But, the problem is giving Employer's name, address etc., as neither the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner nor the Life Insurance Corporation is the Employer of the Assessee.
Kindly enlighten me.

Further,
As there is no Employer-employee relationship, such receipts should not come under "SALARY". It should come under "Income from Other Sources", although it is termed as PENSION. Kindly put your valued oinion.
