Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax exemption for leave encashment received by non-government employees upon retirement. It confirms that the £3 lakh statutory limit for exemption under Section 10(10AA)(ii) is still applicable. The exemption is calculated based on the least of four factors: the statutory limit, the actual amount received, average salary of the last 10 months, or salary per day multiplied by unutilised leave.

Leave encashment received by Non-Government employee is EXEMPT based on the computation provided under Section 10(10AA)(ii) and Balance Amount if any is taxable as ‘income from salary’

COMPUTATION under section 10(10AA):

Leave encashment received Less Exemption under Section 10(10AA)
LEAST of the following:

1. Statutory limit- Rs 3,00,000

2. Actual leave encashment amount.

3. Average salary* of last 10 months

4. salary per day * unutilised leave (considering maximum 30 days leave per year) for every year of completed service.

*Salary for this purpose includes basic salary, dearness allowance and commission based on fixed percentage of turnover secured by employee.
