Honorable Union Finance Minister Smt Nirmala Sitharaman has proposed to hike tax exemption on leave encashment on the retirement of non-government salaried employees to Rs. 25 lakhs from Rs. 3 lakhs.

What is leave encashment?

Leave encashment is the amount of money that an employee received in exchange for leaves not availed by an employee. As per government law, the leave encashment is taxable. This is under the condition that an employee receives sleave encashment during his/her job. 

The revenue secretary Sanjay Malhotra told the Times of India, “The Rs. 22 lakh benefit at 30% plus works out to almost Rs. 7 lahks”.

Sanjay Malhotra said if one spread the exemptions for over 30-35 years, it works out to more than Rs. 20,000 a year.
