Taxable Income Sources and Rules for Retirees in India
Retirees continue to have taxable income from various sources including uncommuted pensions, interest from fixed deposits, savings accounts, and senior citizen savings schemes, as well as rental income from residential and commercial properties. Capital gains from selling assets like shares, mutual funds, and real estate are also taxable based on holding period and asset type. While the old tax regime offers certain deductions, such as up to Rs 50,000 under Section 80TTB for interest income, these are not available under the new regime. Accurate reporting in income tax returns is essential for compliance.
