Leave Encashment

2651 views 3 replies

I read that   89(1) relief can be claimed even for the EL encashment   on retirment or otherwise, provided the EL  accrued over the years are received now.   How the amount  will be apportioned as because  his/her  salary would have been less  during that period.

 Leave encashment received at the time of retirement is exempt subject to certain limit.

Yes, the limit is Rs.3,00,000/-.  However, when some one is getting Rs.10,00,000/- or more on reiterement for the EL balance on credit and half pay leave on credit, will Rs.7,00,000/- or more will be taxed according to the slab? or 89(1) can be claimed?

Dear Ramakrishnaraju,

Relief u/s 89(1) can be claimed on Leave encashment along with the exemption of Rs. 3 Lakhs........

Encashment of leave - Section 89(1) is applicable to amount received by assessee on encashment of accumulated leave - CIT v. S.N. Chadha [2001] 118 Taxman 520/249 ITR 31 (Delhi).
