I have resigned at age 56 in October 2016. Now I am retired but didn’t withdraw PF money which is crediting interest every year till 36 months. My PF interst income(Emp + Self) is 8L plus. Do I need to show interst and pay tax in ITR or I can pay tax at time of withdraw. I need help since there is no salary income and earning on interest, divident and capital gain from my saving corpus.
Should I show as this year PF interest as Other Sources on accrual basis. It may help to bring down overall tax this and next year. If I want to show , How do I show in ITR. There is mention of PF income under section 111.
