Commuted income received by the government employee is non-taxable. (Fully exempt)

Non-government employees, who receive Gratuity along with Commuted Pension, get a tax exemption of up to 1/3rd of the total amount

Non-government employees who do not receive Gratuity, the taxable exemption amount from is 1/2 of the total commuted pension received.

Sir,

Is 1/3 commutation (receiving gratuity) taxable for LIC Group Super annuation - (contribution paid entirely by employee only) . Resigned from Private firm after 10+ years of contribution to the fund.

LIC has deducted 30% tax on my commutation. (say 1 Lac Tax levied on 3 lacs commuted pension)

Can I show the entire Commutation [3 Lacs] under ITR-2 > EI Sheet > Other Exempt income.. & claim refund.

Kindly reply as due date is nearing. Thanks.
