Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of leave encashment arrears received by a bank employee after retirement. While there's a general exemption limit of £25 lakhs under Section 10(10AA)(ii), the exemption is based on the limit applicable at the time of retirement. If an exemption was already claimed previously, subsequent arrears are taxable beyond the initial limit.
He had taken exemption 3 lakhs last year on retirement.He received arrear on leave encashment this year.Now limit is 25 lakhs so again can he take exemption?
