Good News for those retiree’s who retired in financial year 2018-19 and afterwards. When I was filing IT return I noticed that IT department has exempted income earned by way of earned leave encashment under Section 10 (10aa) which can be claimed under column:

Less:Allowances to the extent exempt u/S 10 under sub section 10 aa. All members retired in f/y 2018-2019 are advised to note it down and claim exemption under Leave Encashment. Regarding previously retired employees can claim it after filing revised return under the guidance of CA.

Friends, who are retired after April,2018 they are eligible for exemption of IT section (10) sub section (10aa) under this section, your leave encashment is fully exempted & no tax is to paid, so if you have already deducted tax for leave encashment above 3.00 lacs can be refunded to you. Take care while filing return.
