Leave Encashment & HRA exemption

Dear Expert, I got the Leave encashment amount after resignation and also the HRA but the same is not shown in my form 16 from the employer. I want to file the return 31st july being the last date. Where can i mention these. Do I need to deduct the HRA+Leave encashment amount from Gross salary ? Any help is really appreciated. THanks in advance

Sir,

you can mention these in return before filing. But you can not simply deduct the amount received. 

FOR HRA:

 

the exemption  will be available up to the the minimum of the following three options:


  1. Actual house rent allowance received from your employer
  2. Actual house rent paid by you minus 10% of your basic salary
  3. 50% of your basic salary if you live in a metro or 40% of your basic salary if you live in a non-metro

This minimum of above is  allowed as income tax exemption on house rent allowance.

 


FOR LEAVE ENCASHMENT:

Normally Leave encashment while in service is taxable, but is exempt at retirement, subject to prescribed limits and conditions.
