Summary: If you received the encashment at the time of resignation, it is partially exempt under Section 10(10AA). You should report the full amount in your gross salary in your ITR but claim the exempt portion under the "Allowances exempt under Section 10" section to reduce your taxable income. If it was received during your active service, it is fully taxable.
