Definition of salary Section 15 Employer and employee relationship is very important. Director of a company is not an employee-therefore his remuneration does not come under salary Emolument received by college lecturer for valuation of answer scripts in the university does not come under salary because he/She is not an employee of the university but employee of a college.They come under income from other sources Alternative work is rest

Paper setting, MP and MLA If the same lecturer receives emoluments(remuneration or salary) from his college for academic or non academic work constitute salary. Question paper set to other colleges or other universities comes under other sources. A Member of parliament(MP), Member of the state assembly(MLA) receives remuneration does not come under salary as there is no employer employee relationship between government of India and MP and MLA.-therefore comes under other sources. Threat is your opportunity

Salary and wages Income tax point of view there is no difference between salary and wages. Strength is your weakness

If More than one employer Salary from each source is taxable under the head salary Example: Mr. A works in two places part time job. He is calculated under the head salary in both the places. All problems and happiness are temporary

Pension from former employer As pension paid due to the previous employer employee relationships it is taxed under salary provided the same employee receives(alive) If, after the death of such employee family pension received by spouse(wife or husband) comes under other sources, as there is no employer employee relationship after the death of such employee. Take your life as it is

Employer includes Former Present And prospective employer Love others in order to love oneself

If No intention to pay? Agreement between teacher and management to pay salary to employee and another agreement by which an identical sum has to be returned by the same teacher(assessee)-does not constitute salary because salary is not real but fictitious.(Actual intension to pay is important) Play every day

Whether salary taxed on payment or due basis? Salary is taxable on due or receipt whichever earlier Advance salary received or salary of the last month not received is taxed in the current previous year See Example: Next slide Work is worship other wise?

Example April 2008 salary received in March 2008-taxable in the previous year 2007-08 itself as it is received in 2007-08 period(receipt or due which ever is earlier) March 2008 salary received in April 2008-taxable in the previous year 2007-08 only(receipt or due which ever is earlier) Otherwise hardship

Surrender of salary Surrender to central government- either by government employee or private employee- not taxable salary. Women have changed but men have not changed in India

If Tax paid by employer? If Employer pays tax on employee then total salary to such employee will be Net salary received + tax paid by employer Change in attitude of men required to have a harmony in family life

Gifts given by employer? Taxable under the head salary Men also should learn cooking as woman is working like men

Different forms of salary-Retirement benefits 1. Leave encashment salary 2.Gratuity 3.Pension 4.Retrenchment compensation 5.Provident Fund [Examination point of view these five items are very important]

Leave encashment It is not related to casual leave For every completed year of service employee is entitled to receive a certain number of days of paid leave.Employee either can take leave or en cash it while in service or after retirement. Note: Any thing received while in service is normally taxable.After retirement there are some concessions given .

1.Leave encashment 1.Received while in Service Fully taxable(government or Non government employee) Received At the time of retirement Government Employees-Exempted Central/ State govt. Employees(2) Non government employee (including local authority and corporation employees) (see next slide)

Non-government employee (including local authority and corporation employees) Least of the following Exempted out of leave cash received 10 months average salary* Amount specified by the government-3,50,000 Actually received at the time of retirement [Period of leave on 30 days basis (if more than 30 days as per service rules)for every completed year of service( -) leave availed while in service(-)leave encashed while in service] x (average salary)* * Average salary Basic + % DA comes only for retirement + fixed % of commission on sales. Note: Immediately before the The retirement

Basic + DA which comes for retirement + fixed percentage of commission only on sales. Do not consider fixed amount of commission on sales Do not consider variable or fixed percentage of commission on purchase BDA employee is not a government employee as for as the leave encashment point of view. Note: 1.Fixed % of commission is different from fixed amount of commission(monthly fixed amount)

Exercise-1 X an employee of the central government receives Rs.4,00,000 as cash equivalent to leave credit to his salary on 1 st Feb. 200X after his retirement. a)How much is taxable? b)Suppose X is a private employee and received Rs.15000 as salary and served 20 years and 3 months and taken 3 months leave while in service at the time of retirement? c)If X had rendered 24 years and 8 months of service and he is employee of BDA and received Rs 15,000 basic, 40% DA out of which only 60% will come for retirement purpose and 5% variable and 4% fixed commission on sales where sales achieved in the previous year was Rs.30,00,000. Leave availed while in service was 10 months and 8 months leave en cashed ? d)Suppose X receives leave encashment while in service and he is a government employee?

Answer a) after the retirement leave encashment by government employee is not taxable. b)If he is a private employee the least of the following is exempted from the amount received Rs.4,00,000 1.Actually received-Rs.4,00,000; 2.10 months average salary=15000 x 10=1,50,000; 3.Maximum limit=Rs.3,00,000 4. One month for completed year of service(-)leave availed while in service(-)leave en cashed while in service x (average salary) = 20months-3month-0 months(15,000)=2,55,000 How much is exempted? How much is taxable?

The lowest of all four is Rs.1,50,000 is exempted from Rs.4,00,000 Therefore taxable leave encashment is Rs.2,50,000. (Rs.4,00,000-1,50,000)

c) Working Notes :- No of years of service= 24 years and 8 months=24 years only(fraction is ignored) Average salary=15000 +(40% x 60% x15000) +(4% x 10/12)(30,00,000)=15000 +3600 +30,00,000 x10/12 x 4%/10=28,600 Rs. 30,00,000 is for 12 months but we have to calculate for ten months only before the date of retirement. Least of the following is exempted out of Rs.4,00,000: A) Actually received-Rs.4,00,000 B) 10 months average salary-10 x 28,600=Rs.2,86,000 C) (24 months-10 months-8 months) x 28,600=Rs.1,71,600 D) Maximum limit-Rs.3,00,000 Least of the above is Rs.1,71,600 which is exempted . Therefore taxable leave salary is Rs.4,00,000-Rs.1,71,600=Rs.2,28,400

D) Salary received by government employee while in service is fully taxable.

@Exercise-2 X a non government employee receives Rs.2,50,000 as leave salary at the time of retirement on February 20, 2008.

Working notes for exercise-2 1. No of years:26 years equal to 26 months for our calculations because every completed year of service one month is allowed. 2.Average salary Rs.15,000 Least of the following is exempted from Rs.2,50,000 Actually received Rs.2,50,000 10 months salary=10 x Rs.15,000=1,50,000 Maximum limit Rs.3,00,000 (26 months-27 months-8 months) x Rs.15,000=0 (as it is negative it is equal to Zero) Least exempted leave encashment is Rs.0.

Max.1/3 if he receives gratuity ie 1/3(10,000)=Rs.3333 If he does not receive gratuity he can commute ½ of pension ie. ½(10,000)=Rs.5,000.
