ITAT Jaipur ne ek retired SBI employee ke favour mein bada faisla sunaya hai. Ab **₹25 lakh** ki nayi tax-free limit ka fayda purane retirees ko bhi milega, jisse **₹6.29 lakh** ka tax bojh khatam ho gaya hai.
Retired employees ke liye relief
ITAT Jaipur ne ek bohot bada precedent set kiya hai. Ek retired SBI employee jinhe 2020 mein retirement mila tha, unhe pehle purani limit ke hisaab se sirf ₹3 lakh ki chhoot mil rahi thi. Lekin ab tribunal ne kaha hai ki 2023 mein aayi ₹25 lakh ki exemption limit un par bhi lagu hogi.
Kya tha mamla?
Retiree ko ₹9.29 lakh ka leave encashment mila tha. Tax authorities ne ₹3 lakh se upar ki rakam—yani ₹6.29 lakh—par tax laga diya tha. Lekin tribunal ne is unfair interpretation ko reject kar diya. Unhone saaf kiya ki ₹25 lakh ki nayi limit ek 'remedial measure' hai, jo purane retirees ki financial takleef door karne ke liye hai.
Investors aur retirees ke liye kya matlab hai?
Ye ruling un sabhi retirees ke liye ek umeed ki kiran hai jo 2023 ke rule change se pehle retire hue the. Agar aapka bhi tax pending hai ya is daayre mein aata hai, toh ye tribunal ka order aapke liye strong legal ground ban sakta hai. Ab dekhna hoga ki kya Income Tax Department is par appeal karta hai ya is precedent ko accept kar leta hai.
