10 month's average salary;
Rs. 2,40,000;
Amount actually received
Cash equivalent of leave salary standing to his credit not exceeding 30 days for each year of actual service .
The limit on exemption is applied on the total payment received towards leave encashment from two or more employers, in the same year or in different years.
