For example employee is eligible for 20 leave and he avail only 5 leave during the year hence 15 leave will remain unavailed.

so, now what is the tax treatment for the earned leave calculation at the time of employment, pls state whether it should be taxable or not, taxable means what are all the calculations i will have to consider this…

I received about 1 lakh leave encashment from employer on resignation from a private company in October 2013. Employer has deducted tax for the same and information is there in Form 16. This amount is less than the 3 Lakh limit. I want to claim exemption for it under 10(10AA).
Which ITR Form (ITR-1,ITR-2,ITR4 etc.) should I use for claim the exemption, so that I get the refund for the deducted tax ?
