India Budget 2023: Sitharaman offers cash bounty if you don't take leave from work

"The limit of Rs 3 lakh for tax exemption on leave encashment on retirement of non-government salaried employees was last fixed in the year 2002, when the highest basic pay in the government was Rs 30,000 pm. In line with the increase in government salaries, I am proposing to increase this limit to Rs 25 lakh," Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said while announcing the Union Budget for the next fiscal year that starts April 1.
