Hello Sir! My PF contribution (including VPF)exceeds the 2.5 lakhs limit meant for a private sector employee for tax exemption on the interest earned. Interest earned on the excess amount above 2.5 lakhs, has been taxed at 10% by the PF authorities. Do I have an additional tax liability on the interest earned (under income from other sources) as my tax bracket is 30 percent?

Ans: 01. PF authorities can not tax you in any way. They may have deducted some amount as TDS. While filing your ITR declare this excess amount of Interest, pay income tax on the same & also claim TDS credit, if it has been deducted by any authority.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
