Dear Sir, Please guide that if I deposit some additional funds (over and above my monthly deduction & deposition by Company in NPS as employee contribution) in Tier-1 in my NPS, then whether on maturity of NPS, the 60 % payout to employee (here-in myself) will have any Income Tax implications on the maturity value of this additional funds deposited OR whether there will be Nil Income Tax implications on same. Please guide.

Ans: When your National Pension System (NPS) Tier-1 account matures, the 60% lump-sum withdrawal you receive is currently exempt from income tax under Section 10(12A) of the Income Tax Act, irrespective of any additional voluntary contributions you make. Therefore, both your regular and additional voluntary deposits in NPS Tier-1 enjoy the same tax benefits upon maturity, with no tax implications on the 60% lump-sum payout. However, the remaining 40% directed towards annuity purchase is subject to tax as per your income tax slab when you receive the annuity payments.

Best Regards,

Question by Pranabananda - Sep 22, 2022Hindi

Money

Sir, I would be grateful if you could provide some clarifications regarding NPS. I am a salaried person. I am getting full tax benefit under 80C for PF and VPF. I am also getting benefit of Rs 50,000 by investing in Tier-I account of NPS. My employer has contributed Rs 2,45,941.40 in my NPS account in 2021-22. Should I get tax benefit on my employer's contribution of Rs 2,45,941.40. Please answer.

Ans: I understand that amount of PF and VPF is sufficient to claim deduction of Rs 1,50,000 u/s 80C and deduction of Rs 50,000 is taken under 80CCD (i.e. upper limit of deduction specified under both sections are taken); you will not be eligible for deduction for employers contribution.

My wife is housewife, and has no other income. To secure her future, from my salary, if I contribute every year around 2Lac into NPS tier-1 account of my wife, will there be any tax implication to her or me, whenever she gets pension from NPS when she becomes 60 years old.

Ans: Upon maturity of the NPS account, you can only withdraw 60% of the amount, and this is entirely tax-free. The balance 40% is used to buy an annuity. However, the annuity income is taxable as per the investor’s income tax slab rate in the year of payout.

With reference to contributing to NPS account on behalf of spouse, amount transferred to spouse’s NPS A/c will not be subject to tax.

However, Income from asset (amount) transferred directly or indirectly to spouse without consideration is clubbed in the hands of the transferor. Accordingly, the tax implication would be on you (Husband) wherever your wife gets pension as annuity Income (balance 40%).

Money

Namaskar Interest certificate issued by bank shows interest paid and tax deducted against say 1 senior citizen savings scheme 2 normal savings SB account 3 Fìxed Deposit (term deposit) for say 5years with a maturity value at the end of 5 yrs. Against sl no. 1 and 2 money is credited in account and naturally tax is to be paid. For sl.no. 3 where no money has been credited although said amount paid and tax deducted am I to a) consider said amount paid and TDS in the ITR? b) Is the same maturity amount as mentioned in the certificate will be paid or again tax will be deducted on maturity ? c) If same amount is paid whether that amount will be taxable in that related FY? Regards

Ans: The income tax in India is paid on accrual or receipt basis whichever is earlier. In case of 1 and 2 you rightly pointed out that since they are received you will pay taxes. As far as FD is concerned, the interest is taxed on accrual basis every year on which TDS is deducted. Hence, every year you will need to show the respective interest in your income tax returns and at maturity only differential interest will be paid.

For eg. FD of INR 100 @10% is made for 3 years then year 1 on 10 rs you will be pay tax. In year 2 you will be tax on 11 rs and year 3 you will tax on 12 rs and upon maturity there will be no taxes since entire interest is paid in the respective years.

Hope I am able to articulate this properly.
