Amendment 1.
1. Interest Credited on Contribution by such person/employee As per section 10(11), any payment from 1. Public Provident Fund(PPF) 2. Statuary Provident Fund (SPF) 3. Recognize Provident Fund (RPF) Accumulated balance due and becoming payable to an employee is exempt under section 10(11) & 10(12). The Finance Act 2021 provided that any interest to the extent it relates to the amount of Provident Fund contribution exceeding Rs 2,50,000 made by employees would be subject to tax [Assume, if employee contributes Rs. 4,50,000, the interest on 2,00,000 shall not exempt] . However, in cases where only the employee is making contributions to the Provident Fund, the threshold limit of Rs 2,50,000 would be enhanced to Rs 5,00,000 [Assume, if employee contributes Rs. 6,00,000 then interest on Rs. 1,00,000 shall not be exempt]. Thus, such an amendment would lead to dual accounts within the Provident Fund account i.e. the Taxable as well as the Non-Taxable component. It may be noted that interest accrued on contribution to such funds upto 31stMarch, 2021 would be exempt without any limit, even if the accrual of income is after that date.
