How to calculate the tax from income earned from power grid corporation of India investment trust

Ans: Income tax shall be calculated in a normal way, for any income earned from PGCI (Power Grid Corporation of India).
The only question is under which head it is to be shown ? This will depend upon the actual transactions. If it is Interest earned on any sort of loan or bonds or other credit instruments, it shall be reported under Income form Other Sources. If it is against any professional Services, it may be reported under the head "Business or Profession". Income of any other nature shall be reported suitably, under proper head of income in your ITR.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hello Sir - I have taken a HDFC Unit Linked pension plan in 2008 and the fund value is approx. 49 lakhs. The policy matures in 2030 and allows for commutation of 1/3rd of fund value (with mandatory annuity for balance 67%). My HDFC Life Relationship manager is suggesting that he will transfer the proceeds of this fund to a new HDFC Smart life pension plan (via surrender of old policy and immediate reinvestment as single premium in the new policy) for a term of 5 years. At the vesting date, I will be allowed to remove 60% of the fund value as tax free commuted pension and will need to take annuity only for remaining 40% of fund value. This is beneficial for me (since tax free commutation under new pension plan is 60% as per new IRDAI rules instead of current 33%). In such a case, will the surrender of old policy and immediate reinvestment into new smart pension plan be a taxable transaction in India? I have claimed 80CCC benefits for part of premium paid in the past. HDFC Life has informed that the surrender and immediate reinvestment would not be taxable as I am not actually receiving any amount (the amount is fully being reinvested in the new pension plan). Is this advice by HDFC correct? Thanks for the advice.
Ans: Returns on all ULIPs purchased between April 2012 to February, 2021 are completely tax free if the premium was less than 10% of sum assured. For ULIPs purchased before April 2012, the maturity amount was tax free if the premium was less than 20% of sum assured for that policy.
