## Questions and answers from the visible page

### How is leave encashment calculated?

Encashment = (Basic + DA) ÷ 26 × Number of Leave Days encashed, using 26 as the standard working days in a month.

### Is leave encashment fully tax-exempt?

For government employees, yes. For private-sector employees, exemption is the least of the actual amount, 10 months' average salary, ₹25,00,000 lifetime limit, or the cash equivalent for 30 days per year of service.

### Is leave encashment during service taxable?

Yes — leave encashment received while still employed is fully taxable as salary income; the exemption above applies mainly to encashment on retirement or resignation.
