For tax treatment of leave encashment u/s 10(10AA) of Income Tax Act 1961 the employees has been classified into two types:

1) Govt Employees and

2) Non-Govt employees (PSU employees are considered as non-govt employees)

Therefore you being a Non Government Employee following taxation shall apply as under:-

At the time of retirement or separation (other than on account of Termination) Leave Exemption is least of the following:
1) Rs 3,00,000
2) Leave encashment amount actually received
3) 10 months’ salary (on the basis of average salary of last 10 months ).
4) Cash equivalent to leave to the credit of employee at time of retirement

Note:

  1. For only government  employees Leave encashment is fully exempt.
