Sir,

Thanks for reply

I am correcting my first question under which head arrears as per 7th pay commission is taxable.

I want to reconfirm that You have confirmed that Pension has also breakup into Basic, Medical Allowance. Whether medical allowance will be exempted upto ₹ 15000/- upon submission of medical bills. Please reconfirm.

Reimbursement of medical allowance is allowed up to the limit prescribed i.e., ₹ 15000/- per year. It will not form part of pension.
