dear law is not clear on this whether it should be paid on basic or gross. so you make your own policy in this regard but most of the company pay it on basic. tks j s malik

Thank you so much for your quick response. I needed one more clarification. When an employee goes on leave, we do not deduct from the basic salary. Then why is the leave encashment calculated based on the basic salary?

Dear,
I told you the law is not clear on this. You can create your internal policy, and some companies pay leave encashment on the full salary as well. But as you asked for justification: if someone goes on leave, we give them full salary, whereas if they take encashment, we pay them on the basic.
Why should the company pay allowances when HRA is already being paid to the employee? Why is the employee required to pay again in encashment? Employers take advantage of the act as it is not clear.
Thank you.

Hi Dear,
I do agree with Mr. Malik completely as there is no rule and law for leaves; it is internal company policy. Like in my previous company, it used to be calculated on basic, and here in my present company, it is calculated on CTC, so again it depends.
Hope it's clear to you.

Hi Dear Malik Sir,
I have attached a challan copy preparing Excel sheet. Is it correct or not? Please reply to me. Also, in a year, how many leaves do we calculate? Actually, I have no knowledge of the leave information.

We can have better clarity if we refer to the Bombay Shops and Establishment Act, 1948, specifically in Chapter VII regarding Leave with Pay and Payment of Wages - Section 35(2) on Leave and Section 36 on Pay during leave.
