22 February 2013 During mid 2012, I have resigned from a company after 25 years of service. During final settlement, I have received a sum of Rs.1.90 lacs as leave encashment (for 240 days) and the same was taxed by the employer.

Is it correct to tax the amount paid as leave encashment on resignation.

If not taxable, can I claim on filing of my IT return. If claimable, under what section of IT Act?

04 March 2013 For Leave encashment, least of following is exempted from tax:
1. Earned leave months x Average salary( Basic)( sec 10( 10AA))
2. Avg. monthly salary x 10
3. Maximum amount 3, 00,000
4. Actual amount received

Earned leave months would be (number of year of service*30) minus leave availed by you during your service.

Average monthly salary here means salary drawn by you in last 10 months immediately preceding the retirement.

Please calculate your exempted LE based on above method
