Tax exemption on leave encashment during retirement

DKTAZILANOM9909 (Querist) 11 February 2019 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,

I am an employee of a Public Sector Company. At retirement I have 70 Earn Leaves (EL) only. My company gave 32 Earn Leaves per year during my service period of 35 years as per my Earn Leave entitlement per year. Please tell me whether I shall get any tax exemption on leave encashment from the encashment of 70 leaves during the retirement time. If yes/no, please tell me in details.

regards,
Tapan Das

Leave encashment is treated as Income under IT Tax and tax is applied on the same.

Terminal/ Retirement benefits are exempted from income tax for central government employees, recheck whether your PSU is covered or not.
