Leave encashment

At the time of an employee leaving a private sector firm (whether resigned or under retrenchment , Please clarify whether the LEAVE ENCASHMENT given to him is taxable or else. if yes, then up to what limit . 

i was reading, and came to know that upto 3Lacs INR , this can be claimed as NON TAXABLE during your complete service tenure. Exemption limit of R3 lakh as provided under the IT Act is the maximum that a taxpayer can claim in a lifetime. For example, where an employee has claimed a tax exemption of R75,000 during a financial year on receipt of leave encashment from his employer, a maximum exemption of R2,25,000 can only be claimed in the future years. 

hence the employer must not deduct tax while FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT. Please clarify..

Yes, LE paid at the tine of leaving for any reason is not taxable upto Rs. 3lacs.

 

Any amount paid over & above 3Lac is taxable.
