What is Pension?

Submitted by: Administrator
Pension is a periodical payment received by the employee from the employer after he ceases to be the employee. It is taxed as Salary.

Calculation of pension is done in two forms:
★ Uncommuted Pension - is regular periodical pension to employee which is taxable to all kinds of employees.
★ Commuted Pension is a lump sum payment in lieu of periodical pension.
★ If such pension is received by government employee then it is wholly exempt.

Non government employees can avail exemption to a certain extent:
★ If employee is in receipt of gratuity, 1/3 of commuted value.
★ If not, then one half of commuted value.
