Under section 25F(b) of Industrial Disputes Act 1947
........the workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to 15 days average pay for every completed year of continuous service or any part thereof in excess of six months......
------
The retrenchment compensation received by a workman is exempt provided that in general it does not exceed the sum calculated on the basis provided in Section 25F(b) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 or any such amount as is specified by the Central Govt. by a Notification, whichever is less.
