CBDT has issued Notification No. 31/2023-Income-Tax and Increased limit for tax exemption on leave encashment for non-government salaried employees
The Income-tax Act, 1961, previously allowed a tax exemption on leave encashment for non-government salaried employees. This exemption was applicable to the period of earned leave they had accrued at the time of retirement, whether through superannuation or otherwise. However, the maximum limit for this exemption was set at Rs. 3 lakh.
Following the proposal made by the honorable Finance Minister during the Budget Speech of 2023, the Central Government has now announced an increased limit for tax exemption on leave encashment. Effective from April 1, 2023, the new limit is set at Rs. 25 lakh for non-government salaried employees.
It’s important to note that if a non-government employee receives such payments from multiple employers within the same previous year, the aggregate amount exempt from income tax under section 10(10AA)(ii) of the Act should not exceed Rs. 25 lakh.
Additionally, any tax exemption already allowed in the total income of the employee under section 10(10AA)(ii) of the Act in previous years should be subtracted from the Rs. 25 lakh limit.
This revision in the tax exemption limit aims to provide relief and flexibility to non-government salaried employees when it comes to leave encashment during retirement or other circumstances.
