17 February 2012 Respected sir,

I want to know the tax treatment of amount paid to the employees whose service has been terminated by the employer and they are paid certain amount towards full and final settlement as per their employment contract.

Now the tickling issue is that, the employees have been retrenched before completion of their employment term. so how should the employer proceed their full and final settlement amount as far as the TDS aspects are concerned. What are the tax benefits available to the employees in such situation and what other things to be taken into consideration by employer before deducting TDS.

Kindly let me know the available benefits to the employees under income tax act.

Please reply ASAP

Regards
Jignesh
