Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the tax implications of compensation pay received under a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) due to factory closure. The compensation is considered a 'profit in lieu of salary' under Section 17(3) and is therefore liable for income tax. However, individuals may be eligible for tax relief under Section 89.
