Deduction for minor's pension contributions expanded to allow parental deposits and specify tax treatment on closure due to death.

The amendment permits deductions for pension-scheme payments or deposits made by a parent or guardian into a minor's pension account, subject to an aggregate deduction ceiling of fifty thousand rupees, and modifies statutory wording to include "his account or the account of a minor." It further provides that amounts received by a parent, guardian or nominee on closure of the minor's pension scheme due to the minor's death shall not be treated as the recipient's income.
