Assessee received retrenchment compensation under a government approved and funded BSNL Voluntary Retirement Scheme. Tribunal applied the protection in the second proviso to section 10(10B), concluding such severance falls within tax exemption and therefore does not form taxable income; accordingly no tax was exigible or required to be deducted from the package.
