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).

No separate rate for leave encashment.. add in salary taxable and deduct tax as per income tax rule
Leave Encashment is depend upon the type of employee whether they are govt or private

Leave encashment received at the time of resignation or retirement is exempted to some extent as per Section 10(10AA)
Leave encashment during service is taxable as per existing slab.
