Earned leave encashment not mentioned in form 16.

I have 2 form 16 for FY 2021-22. The amount of earned leave encashment of the previous employer is not mentioned in the "Cash equivalent of leave salary encashment under section 10
(10AA)" of form 16 but the amount is mentioned in salary slip as "Adj. Leave Salary".
So can I mention the amount present in salary slip in section 10 (10AA) while filling ITR?

Quick Summary
If your earned leave encashment from a previous employer isn't listed on Form 16, you can still include it when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR). The amount shown on your salary slip, often labelled 'Adj. Leave Salary', can be used. You should keep your salary slip as evidence in case of any queries from the tax authorities.

Yes, you can.

In case of any query, you need to produce the evidence.

Thank you sir ! Appreciate your help.

Most welcome..
