Dear Sir,

Both the incomes are taxable. In case of family pension, you can claim exemption on annual basis which is Rs.15000 or 1/3 of the total annual pension whichever is less received by your mother. You need to show the entire income under the head Income from other sources after deducting the amount of exempt income and show the exempt income under the head exempt income. Please use ITR-1 under e-filing section.

Thanks

Hi

This would be part of income from other sources. You can include such receipts as income under the head Other sources and file income tax returns accordingly.

Hi,

Both these items are taxable and you can disclose them under income from other sources. However you can claim a standard deduction of one- third of pension amount or Rs 15,000 whichever is less.

Hope that clarifies.

Since you have not shared the full details regarding the nature of family pension, I can only provide you reply from the point of view of taxability in general. The family pension is taxable and stipend is taxable under the head other sources. You will have to show both the elements of income under that head only.

You should file ITR 1.

The last date to file return is today.

Select return filing as "After Due date" in return form.

You need to verify both the returns.
