Hi, My mother had retired from municipal corporation school. She receive regular pension and same is reflected on Form 26AS. I need to file ITR for her. Question is what should be the "Employer Category" column on first tab ('Income Details') of ITR-1 form? Should it be 'GOV', 'OTH' or 'NA'? Please guide asap. Thank You.

Hi, If it was a State/Central Govt related Job, she can select 'Govt' as the category.

Thank you for quick response. My thinking was that since she is no longer working, the employer category would be 'NA'. Thank you for the clarification.
