Income tax exemptions for UPS Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman introduced the Taxation Law (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in today's Lok Sabha session. This Bill aims to amend the Finance Act, 2025 and the Income Tax Act, 1961. The main focus of these changes is to align the tax treatment of UPS ( Unified Pension Scheme ) with that of NPS ( National Pension System ). Here are some key updates included in the Taxation Law (Amendment) per the bill, any payment made from the NPS Trust to a UPS subscriber, which does not exceed 60% of the individual's corpus at the time of superannuation, voluntary retirement or retirement, shall be exempt from income to the bill, 'any payment from the National Pension System Trust to an assessee, who is a subscriber to the Unified Pension Scheme, to the extent that it does not exceed sixty per cent of the individual corpus, as specified in notification number FX-1/3/2024-PR, dated the 24th January, 2025 of the Department of Financial Services, made at the time of his superannuation or voluntary retirement or retirement under clause (j) of rule 56 of the Fundamental Rules [which is not treated as penalty under the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rule.'According to the bill, 'any sum received as a lump sum amount as per clause (vi) of paragraph 2 of the notification number FX-1/3/2024-PR, dated the 24th January, 2025, of the Department of Financial Services, by an assessee being a subscriber to the Unified Pension Scheme will also be tax exempt.'As per law, a lump sum payment will be allowed on superannuation at the rate of 10% of monthly emoluments (basic pay + Dearness Allowance) for every six months of qualifying service you complete. Moreover, this lump sum payment will not affect the amount of assured bill further adds that, 'where any amount standing to the credit of the assessee, being a subscriber to the Unified Pension Scheme, in his account referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1B), in respect of which a deduction has been allowed under those sub-sections or sub-section (2), together with the amount accrued thereon, if any, is received by the assessee or his nominee, in whole or in part, in any previous year on account of his superannuation or voluntary retirement or retirement under clause (j) of rule 56 of the Fundamental Rules [which is not treated as penalty under the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965], as may be applicable, the whole of the amount shall be deemed to be the income of the assessee or his nominee, as the case may be, in the previous year in which such amount is received, and shall accordingly be charged to tax as income of that previous year.'Simply put, if the UPS subscriber or their nominee receives any amount from the scheme before their superannuation, retirement or voluntary retirement, it will be treated as income in the hands of the individual and taxed CA Ashish Niraj, Partner, A S N & Company Chartered Accountants explains, this sub-section has been inserted to clarify that in case the assesee closes the account or opts out of the pension scheme referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1B), then such amount will be deemed to be his income in that previous year and will be CA Mohit Gupta, 'if an assessee (subscriber to the Unified Pension Scheme) receives any amount (including accrued income) from their pension account—where deductions were claimed earlier under Section 80CCD(1), (1B), or (2)—on superannuation, voluntary retirement, or retirement under Rule 56(j) of the Fundamental Rules (not treated as penalty), the entire amount will be treated as taxable income in the year of receipt'.Additionally, if the remaining balance in the individual corpus is transferred to the pool corpus on his superannuation, voluntary retirement or retirement, it won't be treated as income for the taxpayer in that year.

A subscriber, upon attaining 60 years, can withdraw 60% of the total corpus as a lump sum, which is tax-free. The remaining 40% should be utilised to buy annuities. The annuity income is taxable as per the applicable income tax slab rates".

These 3 stocks are must-haves in your portfolio, suggests Religare Broking
Market View Markets edged higher, gaining over half a percent, and continued their consolidation phase. Following positive global cues, the Nifty opened with an uptick and moved in a range during the first half. However, buying interest in select heavyweights during the latter half helped the index reclaim the 24,600 mark, eventually closing at 24,619. Most sectors moved in line with the benchmark, with pharma, metal, and auto emerging as the top gainers. Broader indices also mirrored the benchmark trend, each advancing over half a percent. The past five sessions have been a roller-coaster ride for market participants, but we are witnessing noticeable strength in select pockets across sectors. We maintain our view that sustained trade above 24,600 on the Nifty could pave the way for further recovery, with the immediate hurdle at 24,800 and the next at 25,000. Traders are advised to align their positions accordingly, giving preference to index majors and large midcap counters for long trades. Stocks Recommendations Indian Bank | LTP: ₹670.70 | Buy | Target: ₹715 | Stop-loss: ₹647 After an extended consolidation within a rectangle pattern, the stock broke out above the upper resistance band, signaling the start of a fresh uptrend. Post-breakout, it entered a time-wise correction, forming a fresh base just above the neckline. This base-on-base formation reflects healthy consolidation and resilience despite broader market weakness. The emergence of a buying pivot, along with sustained closes above the 20-week EMA, reinforces the likelihood of the resumption of the uptrend soon. The Indian Hotels Company Ltd. | LTP: ₹769.80 | Buy | Target: ₹820 | Stop-loss: ₹743 The stock has been trading in a corrective phase, forming a symmetrical triangle pattern, after the phenomenal rally during the 2021-2024 phase. Recently, it rebounded sharply from the lower range after building a base there. This rebound, coupled with a reclaim of key moving averages, suggests potential for an advance towards the upper trendline first and then potentially a breakout as well. Participants can consider long positions as per the mentioned levels. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. | LTP: ₹3,282.20 | Buy | Target: ₹3,490 | Stop-loss: ₹3,165 The auto sector continues to show strong momentum, and M&M stands out as one of the top performers, holding firm near its record high. The stock remains in a well-defined uptrend and is currently consolidating in a tight range above its 20-week EMA—signaling strength and potential trend continuation. The rising trendline from recent lows is intact, further supporting the bullish structure. Overall, the setup favors the next leg of the rally.
