1) Gratuity is exempt us 10 of I T Act  hence not taxable

2)Insurance claim is also exempted us 10 of I T Act

3)GPF is also exempted us 10 of I T Act

4)Leave encashment is also exempted us 10 of I T Act

5)  if FD/bond   are purchased out of income disclosed to the department then only interest earned during the year  on such income is taxable as income from other sources  . and principal  amount not taxable

6) Interest earned on PPF is exempt us 10 of IT Act

7)Post  RD interest earned during the year is taxable as income from other sources. Principal amount of investment if invested out of disclosed income then same cannot be taxed .
