Compensation paid to BSNL employees under the BSNL Voluntary Retirement Scheme, 2019 was treated as retrenchment compensation because the payment arose from a forced workforce reduction under the Government-approved revival plan. Applying its earlier ruling on the same scheme, the ITAT held that the receipt fell under section 10(10B), not section 10(10C), and was a capital receipt exempt from tax. The assessees were therefore entitled to exemption, with directions to file revised computations before the jurisdictional Assessing Officers for consequential verification and refund, if due.
