The phrase "all employers" ensures that an individual cannot claim a fresh ₹25 lakh exemption each time they resign or retire from a new employer; any exemption already claimed in prior jobs must be subtracted from the ₹25 lakh lifetime cap.
Encashment of Earned Leave (EL) at the time of resignation is not fully exempt from tax; it is only partially exempt, and the rules for exemption are the same as those that apply at the time of retirement for non-government employees. The maximum limit of total exemption from all employers is ₹25 lakh in a lifetime, whether received on resignation or retirement.

For non-government employees, leave encashment is partially exempt up to ₹25 lakh in total, regardless of whether it is received upon resignation, superannuation, or retirement. Tax will be payable on any amount that exceeds the exempted limits.
For government employees (Central/State), leave encashment received on retirement, resignation, or otherwise is fully exempt.
If an employee receives leave encashment from more than one employer over their career, the aggregate exemption cannot exceed ₹25 lakh across all employers.
