Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax exemption rules for leave encashment received by private company employees upon retirement. While a portion may be taxable as salary, Section 10(10AA)(ii) of the Income Tax Act provides specific exemptions. There's also mention of potential full exemption for retirees from March 1, 2018, onwards, with advice to claim refunds via revised returns if tax was previously deducted.

Leave encashment received by Private limited Company employee is exempt based on the computation provided under Section 10(10AA)(ii) and balance amount if any is taxable as ‘income from salary’.

Good News for those retiree’s who retired in financial year 2018-19 and afterwards. When I was filing IT return I noticed that IT department has exempted income earned by way of earned leave encashment under Section 10 (10aa) which can be claimed under column:
Less:Allowances to the extent exempt u/S 10 under sub section 10 aa. All members retired in f/y 2018-2019 are advised to note it down and claim exemption under Leave Encashment. Regarding previously retired employees can claim it after filing revised return under the guidance of CA.
Regards

Friends, who are retired after April,2018 they are eligible for exemption of IT section (10) sub section (10aa) under this section, your leave encashment is fully exempted & no tax is to paid, so if you have already deducted tax for leave encashment above 3.00 lacs can be refunded to you. Take care while filing return.

Leave encashment rules are subject matter of IT Act, which can only be amended by parliament. CBDT cannot tinker with it. Such fake news should not be spread unless details of concrete notifications are provided.

In this matter I agree with Sagar Patel sir. If you are govt employee it is fully exempt for other 10 month salary or leave encashment amount whichever is less
