  To claim Tax exemption on leave encashment for AY 2021-22. Tax paid over 3 lakh.
I retired from Bank on Jan 31, 2021. As per then IT rules, tax was paid on leave encashment over and above 3 lakhs for the amount being 20 lakhs. I tried for full exemption but in online form it was not accepted stating that I am not a government employee. In 2023, the exemption limit was enhanced to 25 lakhs from 3 lakhs. I felt cheated. As I observe, a person retired in FY 2020-21 like me, claiming such exemption through ITAT, succeeded in getting exemption. I also want to avail this exemption. How it will be done.
