SIR,
I HAVE RETIRED FROM STATE GOVT. SERVICE IN FEBRUARY 2023. I HAVE GOT PENSION AND OTHER RETIREMENT BENEFITS LIKE
1) COMMUTED VALUE OF PENSION
2) GRATUITY
3) GENERAL PROVIDENT FUND
4) GISS
5) LEAVE ENCASHMENT
I UNDERSTAND THAT PENSION IS TREATED AS SALARY INCOME U/S 17(1) AND TAXABLE.
BUT HOW DO I SHOW OTHER BENEFITS AS MENTIONED AND CLAIM EXEMPTION IN ITR1?
SHOULD I ADD ALL UNDER SALARY U/S 17(1) AND THEN CLAIM EXEMPTION U/S 10 FROM SALARY INCOME FROM DROP DOWN MENU?
REGARDS,
Sir,
I am a salaried Govt. Employee. I have income from salary and other sources like Bank F.D. interest from which TDS is deducted.
Now in ITR1 for AY 2019-20 I have to report Total Taxes Paid which includes…. Total TDS claimed+ Self assessment tax+ Advance tax paid. Now what is this “Total TDS claimed”? Is it the sum total of TDS from salary as per Form 16 (Schedule TDS1)+ TDS on the Bank F.D. interest as per Form 16A (Schedule TDS2)?
Kindly clarify.

Sir,
I am a senior citizen. Can I claim deduction u/s 80TTB (upto Rs. 50000) on my SAVINGS BANK INTEREST?
Sir,
My mother is a super senior citizen. She has income from Family Pension and Savings Bank Interest. But her Total Income including all sources never exceeded the basic exemption limit applicable to her. But she submits ITR every year.
Now that she is too aged and invalid and that her income is unlikely to exceed the Basic Exemption limit in foreseeable future, can she discontinue filing ITR any more? If yes whom to contact in IT Department to pray for exemption from filing ITR?……..Is it her AO(ITO) or any other authority? Can she submit her prayer to the nearest any ASK centre? Or can she submit it online and how?

Mehul Zala,
A standard deduction of Rs. 40000 from the salary income is applicable for the salaried individuals for the F.Y. 2018-19.
Is it applicable for the pensioners also and at the same rate?
I am a govt. employee and a senior citizen. I want to deduct tax solely on my salary income by my deductor for the FY 2018-19. I intend to show the interest income in the itr1 and pay self assessment tax/advance tax as applicable after deduction of Rs. 50000 under 80TTB.
My question is……in that case the form 16 issued by my employer will not show the deduction under 80TTB. Can I claim that deduction in my ITR1?
Is there any problem of mismatch between form 16 and itr1?
Sir,
My D.O.B. is 21/10/1958. Can I claim the I.T.benefits for the F.Y. 2018-19 as a senior citizen?
SINCE YOU ARE ATTAINING AGE 60 IN THE FY 2018-19, YOU ARE A SR.CITIZEN AND CAN CERTAINLY BE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SR.CITIZEN FOR AY 2019-20…
1)Sir, I am a Govt. Employee. I am facing some problem regarding filling up Schedule TDS in ITR1 for AY 2018-19…..I have declared income from other sources apart from my salary income
to my deductor. After adding both “Salary” and “Income from other sources” I arrive at “Gross Total Income” and allowing deduction under chapter 6A, I arrive at “Total Taxable Income” and tax has been deducted at source accordingly by my employer. Now what should I fill in column (3)i.e. amount which is subject to tax deduction of schedule TDS? Is it only “Salary income” or “Gross Total Income” or “Total taxable income”? In column (4)i.e. year of tax deduction of schedule TDS what should I fill as total tax has been deducted during FY 2017-18? Column (5) is Tax deduction at source, that I can understand. But what shall I fill in column (6) i.e. amount out of (5) claimed this year? Plz. reply.
No Income details or tax computation has been provided in ITR but details regarding taxes paid have been provided.
