In case of Govt employees earned leave salary is  exempt from tax ,

as it is received at the time of retirement.

Pl Refer Section 10AA(i).

one our clint i.e. a widow, receiving family pension including arear of salary for the period when her husband was alive, pls tell me what will be the nature of family pension and arrear of salary in the hand of widow.

it will be taxed under income from other source...in case of family pension deduction will be allowed of lower of 1/3rd or 15000 rs.
