How to file a tax return if I receive both pension and rental income?

Question

I am a retired government employee and I also rent out my house. How can I file a return showing both pension and rental income correctly?

Answer 1

You can file your tax return by declaring pension income under the “Other Sources” section, selecting the option for Pension.
Your rental income should be declared separately under the “Property Income” section in IRIS.
Make sure to enter the gross rental income and claim any allowed deductions (e.g., 1/5th for repairs).
Pension is generally exempt from tax, but it must still be reported for disclosure purposes.
Submit the return through IRIS before the deadline to stay on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL).
