One of my client was a BSNL employee since 1974, he got absorbed b MTNL since 1st October 2000. He took voluntary retirement on 20th July 2011. In A.Y. 202-13 He got Leave encashment of Rs. 714070 & TDS was deducted after considering limit of Rs 300000. later new section introduced AS follows

 

Section 10(10AA) (i) ; LE earned as govt employee (i.e., BSNL) is fully exepmt

Section 10(10AA) (iI): LE earned as non govt Employee (i.e., MTNL) is taxable above Rs. 300000

 

Out of total leaves of 300, 243 was of the period when he was in BSNL amounting to Rs. 578397 & remaining 57 are of the period when he was with MTNL amounting to Rs. 135673 which is below the exemption limit of Rs. 300000. Now can we claim refund by filing condolence of delay
