क्या pensioners को standard deduction मिलेगी? Is pension eligible for standard deduction for 18-19 HD

Hi! After Budget 2018 announcement about standard deduction of Rs.40000 on salary, confusion arise that whether this deduction is applicable on pension or not? So , "The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has clarified that the pension received by a taxpayer from his former employer is taxable under the head "Salaries". The Finance Act, 2018 has amended Section 16 of the Income-tax Act, 1961("the Act") to provide that a taxpayer having income chargeable under the head "Salaries" shall be allowed a deduction of Rs. 40,000/- or the amount of salary, whichever is less, for computing his taxable income. Accordingly, any taxpayer who is in receipt of pension from his former employer shall be entitled to claim a deduction of Rs.40,000/- or the amount of pension, whichever is less, under Section 16 of the Act," said the press release. following is link to download press release: http://cagurujii.blogspot.com/2018/04/will-pensioners-get-standard-deduction.html Visit our website: https://cagurujii.blogspot.in Follow Us: * Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CAGuruji/ *Twitter: https://twitter.com/cagurujii *Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caguruji/ * Website: https://cagurujii.blogspot.in * For product reviews, DIY, Make Up, Recipes and Vlogs watch our another channel *My Smart Home: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnB-gg8-_UEvytau8QD1EwQ Our playlists are: You can watch our GST video by clicking on following links: 1) Income tax returns (ITR 1, ITR2, ITR3, ITR4, ….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQgRZLsA0B4&list=PL8hfcwuOJ2TTh8T6bcIWTsPuJD7F-aQnV 2) income tax saving or investment options to save tax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfBFobWDcws&list=PL8hfcwuOJ2TSLRlqeVuXch2MchSCcr4xD 3) GST videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWMcL1U6sLA&list=PL8hfcwuOJ2TQFCWzMaYGQ3dIaC7NpEI3d 4) Trending videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wqc0TMuWAA&list=PL8hfcwuOJ2TTFFWw2nBAC504i7qb8QLcb ****Makeup products I usually apply for videos are: Lipstick: Sugar Cosmetics: https://amzn.to/2qK3IkU Lakme 9 to 5 : https://amzn.to/2HdcKh7 Foundation: Maybelline FIT ME: https://amzn.to/2qInXzp COMPACT: Maybelline FIT ME: https://amzn.to/2qK476V MASCARA: MAYBELLINE COLLOSAL MASCARA: https://amzn.to/2qKhDal KAJAL: MAYBELLINE COLLOSAL : https://amzn.to/2qKoi4p **Products I use for video recording: Mike for Audio recording: http://amzn.to/2xb0FVh iball Rocky with mike, headphone and speakers: http://amzn.to/2vnISYy Camera:http://amzn.to/2xbyvZY DSLR: http://amzn.to/2w1UMJB Xiaomi Redme note 4 : http://amzn.to/2g3kn14 Camera Stand: http://amzn.to/2xNB9FE Mini Tripod Universal YT-228 for Digital Camera & All Mobile Phones- Black (YT-228 Tripod) http://amzn.to/2xO1Av2 Laptops: Lenovo Ideapad 320E 80XH01GKIN 15.6-inch Laptop (6th Gen Core i3-6006U/4GB/1TB/FreeDOS/Integrated Graphics) http://amzn.to/2f1WZgQ HP HP 15 HP Notebook 15-BS549TU 2017 15.6-inch Laptop (Celeron N3060/4GB/500GB/Windows 10 Home Single Language(64 bit)/Integrated Graphics), Jet Black http
