Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax exemption rules for leave encashment, particularly for bank employees who are considered non-government employees. While government employees receive fully exempt leave encashment upon retirement, non-government employees have a tax exemption limit of ₹3,00,000, based on specific calculations. Leave encashment received during service is fully taxable.

(a) Government employees: Leave salary received at the time of retirement is fully exempt from tax.
(b) Non-government employees: Leave salary received at the time of retirement is exempt from tax to the extent of least of the following:
(i) ` 3,00,000
(ii) Leave salary actually received
(iii) 10 months’ salary (on the basis of average salary of last 10 months)
(iv) Cash equivalent of leave (based on last 10 months’ average salary immediately preceding the date of retirement) to the credit of the employee at the time of retirement or death. Earned leave entitlement cannot exceed 30 days for every year.

Notes:Leave salary received during the period of service is fully taxable.
