What is Pension?
Pension is money received by a retired employee of a company that was accumulated into an account right from the time they began working.
A part of it is given to them on a monthly basis or a lump sum amount post retirement.
Pension can be received by a retired employee in two ways. A chunk of it can be withdrawn as a lump sum amount or it can be received as salary every month.
Note : If the pension is withdrawn as a lump sum amount called commuted income, it is Tax free but if it's received on a monthly basis called "uncommuted pension", it is Taxable as monthly income.
