Pension from united nation

(Querist) 08 June 2013 This query is : Resolved 
DEAR SIR/MAM
PLEASE TELL ME,IN WHICH SECTION OF INCOME TAX ACT 1961, PENSION RECEIVED FROM UNITED NATION IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX.
I COULD'NT BE ABLE TO FIND IT.

Searching at a wrong place.

Under the United Nations (Privileges and Immunities) Act, 1947, the salaries and emoluments paid to officials of UNO are exempt from tax. The pension paid is exempt because the pension is nothing but the salary. Equally, the pension paid to the widow of the deceased would not assume a different character and is covered under the provisions of the United Nations (Privileges and Immunities) Act, 1947.
