NC Staff Side Demand on exemption from payment of income tax to Pensioners

NC Staff Side Demand on exemption from payment of income tax to Pensioners

EXEMPTION FROM PAYMENT OF INCOME TAX TO PENSIONERS WHO HAVE ATTAINED AGE OF 80 YEARS OR MORE

Pension or Family Pension taxed as salary income?
Yes, Pension is taxable as salary income. And Family Pension is taxable as income from other sources.

National Council Staff Side members raised a point in the NC JCM meeting was held on 13th April, 2019 regarding exemption from payment of income tax to Pensioners who have attained age of 80 years or more.

Staff Side stated that at present very old pensioners are exempted, if their income is up to Rs 5 lakh per annum whereas the govt. have granted additional pension @20% of their basic pensioner on attainment of 80 years of age 30%, .on 85 years 40%, on 90 years to 100% on attaining 100 years of age, the fixation of ceiling of Rs. 5 lakh for exemption from income tax would act to reduce their pension income which will affect them adversely.

Staff Side therefore suggested that exemption from income tax to very senior pensioners aged 80 years or above be considered and granted by way of gift to these elders on the next Elders’ day.

Official Side replied to this demand:

Considering the specific needs of the senior citizens, the basic exemption limit for a senior citizen i.e. above 80 years, is fixed at Rs. 5 Lakh. Hence, the demand of the Staff Side is not feasible.

However, the Chairman stated that the demand of the Staff Side should be re-examined by the Department of Revenue. He observed that there was a case that the requirement of mandatory filing of income tax returns by persons beyond a certain age may be dispensed with.

He advised the Department of Revenue to send him a report on this issue.

Some important questions and answers for pensioners:

What is considered as salary income?
​​​​Section 17​​ of the Income-tax Act defines the term ‘salary’. However, not going into the technical definition, generally whatever is received by an employee from an employer in cash, kind or as a facility [perquisite] is considered as salary.

​If I receive my pension through a bank who will issue Form-16 or pension statement to me- the bank or my former employer?
​​The bank.​
