18 November 2014 Dear Mr. Amol,

That means if the salary available for 09 months then for average salary i have to divide the basic figure with 09 months only, is it correct?
Further as per the facts of case the amount paid is taxable or exempt.

18 November 2014 01. Yes, divide it by 9.
02. The leave encashment at the time of retirement, resignation OR OTHERWISE is exempt, as calculated above.

18 November 2014 But In My TDS Package its shown as fully taxable.

18 November 2014 2 views are possible of the word OTHERWISE.
The words used in the ACT are OTHERWISE.
Some feel that otherwise includes termination or resignation. Take a suitable call accordingly.
