Assessment of my father who was a GOVT. EMPLOYEE resigned from his job in Aug 2007 as a consequence of these leave salary standing credit of the employee is not payable as per rules of the company. It had been claimed as Liquidated Damage and the same has been disallowed by dept.

31 December 2010 lEAVE SALARY FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AT THE TIME OF RETIREMENT IS 100 % EXEMPT U/S {10(10AA)(i)}

even it will not form part of taxable income so no need of showing like liquidated damages etc.

there is no tax liability

01 January 2011 If leave salary is not payable to the employee as per Govt Company's Rules then how the amount of 525967/- i.e. Liquidated damage, has been received/arrived.

It's not clear from the query. Please elaborate Returned Income and the ground on which addition is being made more particularly.

However, salary is taxable on due basis and in my opinion if any amount which has not become due can not be added to Salary. From your question it seems that addition is being made even though the leave salary amount has not been received.
