Sec. 253 of Income Tax Act, 1961—Appeal - The amount was paid as a compensation for retrenchment of services taking into consideration the length of service, basic salary, the age and other factors. The said amount is a compensation paid by the employer while terminating the services of the employee on account of loss of job and further subsistence, thus, the said amount was just a capital receipt in the hands of the assessee. No part of such amount received by the assessee is taxable. Therefore, the appeal of the assessee-employee is allowed and the disallowance and consequent additions made by the AO in this respect are deleted. - HARISH VERMA V/s DY.
