TDS on amount in EPF account

TDS 722 views 3 replies

I have an EPF amount lying with my previous account with one of the employers and have yet not transferred same to my existing account with present employer. Recently I have observed that 10% TDS has been deducted on the interest amount on my EPF account. Pls let me know whether the interest amount on such account will be treated as my income and hence the amount is chargeable to normal tax rate under the head "income from other sources".
