Dear Mr Suresh
Sorry to bother you with further Income Tax querries. Hope you would not mind about that. I request your guidance on the following.
1. I receive Annuity Pension from the Superannuation fund maintained by LIC the contribution for which was made by employer during my employment. Under what head I should declare this in my income tax return?
2. I also receive pension paid by Employees Provident Fund organisation under the Employees Pension Scheme `1995. Under what head I should declare this income?
3. I also receive annuity from LIC in respect of my Jeevan Suraksha policy the premium for which was paid by me and I had claimed exemption under sectio 80cc. Under what head I should declare this income?
In case all the above treated as Salary/Pension then whose name I should mention against the employer in each of the above receipt?
Please guide me.
Thanks once again.
