Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that TDS is generally deductible on leave encashment received during employment, even if the employee continues working. For private sector employees, this amount is typically added to their salary and taxed according to their applicable income tax slab rates. Government employees may have different rules, and the tax rate depends on the total income and the chosen tax regime (old or new).
Leave Encashment is depend upon the type of employee whether they are govt or private for govt employees leave Encashment is not taxable for private employees it will be form part of salary and taxed at slab rates
