Tax on Leave Encashment

yes its complete taxable

Leave encashment received while in service is FULLY TAXABLE.

If it is received at the time of retirement

incase of Govt Employees - it is FULLY EXEMPT

incase of Non-Govt Employees, then Such taxable amount is calculated by applying the following calculations:

Least of the following is deductible :

1. Actual Amount of Leave Encashment received.

2. Rs.300000 (Life time Limit)

3. Ten months average salary

4. Amount equivalent to earned leave to the credit of employee.

If leave salary is received at the time of retirement, then

if it is received by Govt. Employees - then it is FULLY EXEMPT

Leave enacashment availed while continuing in service is fully taxable.

Exemption from tax is available only when leave encashment is availed at the time of retirement on supperannuation or otherwise. Retirement includes resignation. However the conditions specified in the section are to be kept in mind.
