Yes, under section 17(1), which is termed as a salary, and it includes your pension, which you have contributed by the central government or any employer in a financial year to the employee's accounts under the NPS (National Pension System).

    Yes, pension is covered under section 17(1) of the Income Tax Act. It is considered a valid income from salary, and a pension from an annuity policy will be deemed under the other sources. 

    An annuity pension is the payment that is received from a past or present employer after retirement. It can be the payout from the pension plans, which are created by the employee.

      If an annuity is received from the past employer, then it will be taxed as a profit instead of a salary.
