Form 10E requirement for Leave encashment and Gratuity received at retirement

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

Form 10E is generally not required for government employees receiving leave encashment and gratuity at retirement, as these are fully exempt. For private employees, Form 10E is only necessary if a portion of these receipts is taxable and you wish to claim tax relief under Section 89(1). If the entire amount is exempt, no Form 10E is needed.

31 July 2025 If you are a government employee (full exemption), Form 10E is not required for leave encashment or gratuity at retirement. For non-government employees, Form 10E is required only to claim tax relief under Section 89(1) on the taxable portion of such receipts.
If there is no taxable part (i.e., full exemption), Form 10E is not needed. If part remains taxable and you seek relief under Section 89(1), you must file Form 10E before filing your tax return.

31 July 2025 I was private employee. Received around Rs 800000 as gratuity and Rs 100000 as leave encashment after retirement. My form 16 shows these two incomes under section 10(10) and 10AA. Do i need to file Form 10E to claim tax exemption

01 August 2025 No. When both are exempt; no need to file form 10E for that.
