Voluntary Retirement compensation is exempted U/s. 10(10c) – SUBJECT TO Conditions.
a) Maximum exemption is Rs. 5lakhs
b) It is as per the scheme within the prescribed guidelines.
c) It should be from the undertaking mentioned in the section.
If above have been satisfied, can claim exemption upto Rs. 5Lakhs & also can claim Relief U/s. 89. If not, they can claim only relief U/s. 89 – but entire amount will be taxable.
Further with regard to TDS – it is based on the taxability of the amount. If exemption applies – employer can consider the exemption amount and deduct TDS – if not they have to deduct based on applicable rate
