ITAT adjudicated compensation received on employment termination, determining the nature of payment as capital receipt exempt from taxation. The tribunal analyzed precedential cases involving similar employment termination scenarios, specifically referencing prior decisions by Shrikant Anantrao Zori and Mahadev Vasant Dhangekar. The tribunal concluded that the ex-gratia compensation was voluntary, without employer's statutory obligation, and therefore not taxable under section 17(3). Consequently, the tribunal set aside the CIT(A)/NFAC order, directing the Assessing Officer to delete the disputed tax addition, ultimately ruling in favor of the assessee's interpretation of the compensation as a non-taxable capital receipt.
