Leave encashment received by employees during their employment is fully taxable.
However, at the time of retirement, leave encashment received by all government employees is exempt, while for non-government employees, it is exempt to a certain extent.
The amount of such exemption is calculated in lower the following:
- The actual amount received by the employee as leave encashment.
- The amount specified by the government, which is Rs. 25,00,000 (earlier it was Rs. 3,00,000)
- Unutilized leave credit, calculated as:
- average salary per day * number of unutilized leave days (maximum allowed leaves per year should not be more than 30 days)
- Average salary for last 10 months.
