Income Tax on Disability Benefits

 I had requested the CPIO, Central Board of Direct Taxes for file noting and all information as defined in Section 2 (f) of the RTI Act, 2005 in July 2019 leading to the impugned Circular No. 13 of 2019 on tax being imposed on disability benefits for those who continued to serve despite the disability and superannuated.

When the information/denial was not forthcoming within the 30 days allowed, I filed a First Appeal in August 2021.

After a couple of months but within the 90 days allowed, a Second Appeal was filed in October 2019.

 The honourable Central Information Commission held a telephonic hearing on 24.6.2021 on my Second Appeal No. CIC/CBODT/A/2019/151305. The honourable Information Commissioner has directed the CPIO to furnish information that is permissible.
