Mr. Dalvi C.G asked
Please clarify whether Leave encashed at the time of availing LTC is to be deducted from the leave account of employee at the same time or not. Also clarify whether separate account of 60 EL encashment is to be maintained?
GC Team’s opinion
While availing Leave Salary encashment for LTC, the leave encashed should be deducted from the EL credit at that time itself along with EL taken for LTC.
But this is not applicable for all cases as LTC can also be availed on CL.
In that case only encashed EL is be deducted.
But this Leave encashment debit should be made separately in red ink. An abstract as hereunder may be maintained in LA it self
| LTC Leave Encashment Account | |||
| Date | Availed | Progressive | balance |
| 1/2009 | 10 | 10 | 50 |
| 3/2010 | 8 | 18 | 42 |

Respected shri Dalvi,
As per rule the availed leave salary encashment is to be deducted from the leave account of employee both LTC and Leave encashment at the same time. Proper entry in red Ink should be made in service book for final payment of Leave encashment after retirement can be made correctly.
While availing LTC on CL also, the leave Salary Encahshment would be deducted form his leave account.
Thanking you.

whether the leave encashment on LTC is taxable or not?. As it is not deductible form overall 300 days the DDOs are resorting to TDS on this encashment as well.
