Man gets leave encashment tax benefit, but limit hiked later; ITAT allows Rs 12.27L

The ITAT Chennai bench viewed the increase from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 25 lakh as an enhancement of an existing benefit, rather than the creation of a new exemption. The Tribunal also found the change beneficial and remedial in nature and said it was intended to reduce hardship and bring parity between government and non-government employees.
